Schroeder has always been composed-disciplined, focused, unshakable. But none of that applies when it comes to her. Lucy van Pelt: the only girl who outplays him in music, outranks him in class, and outsmarts him without even trying. Cold, competitive, untouchable-she drives him over the edge.
And he wouldn't have it any other way.
To Lucy, Schroeder is just another rival in the academic race-brilliant, annoying, obsessed with Beethoven and probably himself. She's too focused on perfection, on her future, to care about the way he watches her when he thinks she isn't looking. Or the way his locker is filled with notes and test scores that mirror her own.
She doesn't see the spiral-not until a shared music scholarship throws them into an unwilling partnership, and everything begins to shift. His mask slips. Her control cracks. And suddenly, the boy she's ignored for years is the one she can't stop thinking about.
But obsession has a melody all its own-and love, when left to fester in silence, can become something far more dangerous.
Flipped is a dark rivals-to-lovers slow burn where perfection meets possession, and the line between devotion and obsession blurs beyond recognition.
Openly humiliated and rejected right in front of her friends; Lucy found herself standing on the opposite end of the room while her friends all laughed along with each other.
Hurt that her friends weren't even trying to validate if the lies were even true, they all pushed her away while she tried to forget her crush that openly displayed his affection to the girl standing besides them. They all didn't want to be around someone who didn't find friendship important - They all believed the girl, but not her.
Finding herself standing in front of a door that would never open up for her, she decided to turn her back to it and walk away. Now leaving her guild to go on an adventure with hopes of letting go of these heart throbbing emotions of hers; Lucy then finds herself accepting two open hands which then leads her into another inviting family.
Ever since she met Rogue, her life began to shine back into its brightest state. Thanks to his help, she knew that she didn't need the boy from the past again.
