Dating 13

Ciara Doyle has always been a background girl - quiet, steady, the one who finishes her homework on time and never gives anyone a reason to talk.

Johnny Kavanagh has always been the opposite - loud when he needs to be, silent when it matters, the kind of boy who carries the weight of everyone's expectations and never complains.
They weren't supposed to orbit each other like this.

But one spilled drink, one borrowed jacket, and one badly timed rumor later, they're the newest headline in a school that never stops talking.

Caught somewhere between friendship and something neither of them dares to name, Ciara learns that growing up isn't just about heartbreak and first loves - it's about finding out who you are when everyone else thinks they already know.
