Parallel lines

Sixteen-year-old Maya Carter (Lena's bold little sister) has always been the opposite of Lena-messy, late, impulsive, and never afraid of a little chaos. She doesn't care about perfect grades or top universities. She just wants to survive high school with her sanity and her friendships intact.

That is... until the school announces a new rule:
Every student must complete a semester-long mentorship with a senior.

And Maya gets paired with Aiden Cole-the quiet, intimidating new senior with a reputation for being "unreachable." The one who transferred after something happened at his old school. The one who seems determined to avoid everyone-including her.

But when Maya accidentally discovers the real reason Aiden came to their school, she becomes the only person he lets into his guarded world.

As their mentorship becomes a reluctant friendship and the lines between curiosity and connection blur, Maya must figure out:

Can two people walking in opposite directions ever meet in the middle?

And how will her growing bond with Aiden affect the fragile dynamic between Lena and Ethan-especially when Aiden has a past with Ethan that neither brother wants to talk about?
