Crossroads Of Us

It is said,
"Two sharp swords can't be in one sheath."
But what happens when they do?

"I'm not the main character- I'm the side one living freely off the script. Every story needs a little chaos to stay interesting."

AYDEN ROSWELL- a storm wrapped in sunshine. Reckless, radiant, and unapologetically alive, she believes life is meant to be felt, not planned. With laughter always on her lips and loyalty stitched into her soul, Ayden thrives in chaos.

Until Northwood Academy.

Which demands three things she has never learned to obey- and has no intention of starting now.

Discipline.
Control.
Restrictions.

This prestigious high school- a place meant for fresh starts- introduced her to the one person who would become her favorite mistake.

No matter how hard she dodges him, fate- or some bored universe- keeps
shoving him right back in her way.

Intelligent, demanding, and fiercely competitive- AREG CORDERO.
An introverted grump wrapped in a silent 'don't test me' aura, his reputation built on distance and discipline. He keeps his circle small and his world smaller, structured exactly the way he likes it.

Predictable.
Controlled.
Planned.

Until her.

Her arrival cracks the system he spent years perfecting, pulling him into emotions he never planned for- and never wanted.

With every part of him, he wants her gone - and just as badly, he wants to be the only one who stays.

Between crushing expectations, looming dreams, and the terror of failure, their animosity becomes their refuge... and their greatest threat.
Because the fire between them isn't just anger.
Not anymore.

"You hate me!"
"I wish I fucking did!"

Will they learn to move without destroying each other?
Or will pride slice deeper than feelings ever could?
