A fresh start at a new school. This is just what she needs. A get away in a state she's never been in a town that's isn't even shown on a map...not weird at all...right? "A place to feel welcomed and accepted." At least that's what the school motto is. Aria has felt out of place her entire life and Crestwell College is the perfect place for her, or so she's been told.
Arriving to the school was a long journey. The rain pours the entire time, feeling almost eerie. The wind howls and it's foggy making it hard to see clearly.

"My crush," I said. My face burned. "On you." My stomach dropped. The words hung in the air. I didn't even try to lie. There was no point. He had seen it. He had always known.
