A Teenage Dream
PROGLOG Hyda never believed in soft love. Loud, messy, dramatic - that was her way of feeling everything. She's the troublemaker with a sharp tongue, a loyal heart, and a habit of crashing into things - bikes, friendships, people, and sometimes, her own reflection. Kabir is the kind of boy who watches more than he speaks. Head boy. Topper. Good on paper, hard to read in person. He doesn't chase noise. But when Hyda stumbles into his orbit - all fire, sarcasm, and bruised tenderness - something inside him shifts. They aren't meant to fit. But the silence between them? It starts to sound a lot like home. In a school full of secrets, pressure, and whispered reputations, Hyda and Kabir navigate glances that last too long, feelings they won't name, and a connection too intense to ignore. As friendships break, families interfere, and futures loom close, they'll have to decide what kind of love they believe in - the kind that stays hidden, or the kind that changes everything![To My Youth [BL]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/163082485-256-k669219.jpg)
