"When practice, plates, and unexpected feelings collide-will Theo finally learn that not all lessons are written in books?"
Theo never planned on joining the school's dance competition. He was the quiet, disciplined type-more focused on grades and plates than on the spotlight. But one sudden announcement pulled him and his classmates into a whirlwind of practices, commotions, and friendships.
Then came Jane.
Cheerful, unpredictable, and always making the ordinary feel alive. What started as simple group practices turned into moments Theo couldn't ignore-shared bottles, late-night thoughts, accidental smiles, and feelings he swore he didn't have time for.
But things get complicated when Percy, the campus heartthrob, lingers around Jane, stirring emotions Theo can't explain. With deadlines piling, competition looming, and his heart betraying his calm, Theo is forced to confront the truth: maybe the hardest task isn't on paper, but in learning to listen to what he feels.
A story of friendship, small moments, and the slow dance between logic and emotions.
Her world had never been soft. She'd learned too quickly that people could love you one day and rip the ground out from under you the next. So she built herself out of armor: cool smirks, careless words, the lie that she didn't care. She convinced everyone around her that she was untouchable, that she didn't need anyone to stay. That way, if they left, it wouldn't matter. But the truth was, she longed for the chaos. She trusted it more than stability, because at least chaos was honest. At least when something was toxic, when it was tension-filled and dangerous, you knew exactly where you stood- you knew it could hurt you.
What unsettled her more was the idea of something pure, something kind, because that was where betrayal liked to hide.
He's cold. She's reckless. And somewhere between jealousy, secrets, and a Halloween Party that changes everything Athena learns that sometimes the scariest thing isn't being hated.
It's being wanted.
