EmberFell Academy: The Beginning

At Emberfell Academy, masks aren't part of the dress code-but everyone wears one.
In a school built on legacy but ruled by merit, the past lingers in seating charts and family crests. Ava Morgan walks into the semester with a smirk and no expectations. Liam Carter doesn't bother looking twice-until he does. Their paths cross like sparks-brief, bright, and hard to ignore.

But not everything starts with curiosity. Some connections begin in silence, in stares that burn without reason. Alexis Sterling always smiles. Emily Aster never does. Yet when they find themselves side by side, something unspoken and sharp rises to the surface-and neither of them knows why.

Friendships fracture before they begin. Secrets stir behind well-fitted uniforms. Emberfell is more than a school-it's a stage, a test, a reckoning. And the first day is only the beginning.
