wrapped around her finger | winrina

Karina is the effortlessly bratty, popular girl who thrives in the summer heat-her shades always perched on her head, iced drinks in hand, and surrounded by friends at every pool party. She's all sunkissed skin, glossy lips, and golden-hour selfies. Everyone loves her. But she barely notices Winter-the quiet girl with soft stares, always tucked in a book under the shade, trying not to get burned in more ways than one.

What Karina doesn't know is that Winter has had a crush on her for years. And not just any crush-a full-blown obsession with the way Karina's waist dips when she wears cropped tanks, or how she tosses her hair when she laughs too hard.

This summer, though, things change. Karina starts teasing her, flirting without even realizing it, inviting her to bonfires, beach days, and late-night hangouts. Winter can't tell if she's being toyed with or if this is the moment she's been waiting for. All she knows is: she's done watching from the sidelines.

She was always meant to be hers-especially this summer.
