a sun that never sets
After one year at Bridewater College, Honoria Song likes to consider herself a veteran. She still has the same goals, but she's grown up a lot in the past year. Through thick and thin, though, she's made it, and this year was only going to be worse. The year for relaxation is over. In a matter of months she'd have her JCMs, and she'd be a liar if she said she wasn't terrified. But either way, she knew what she had to do. She couldn't stress herself out like she did last year. She couldn't fuck up again, or she'd be out of chances. Which is why she agreed to a tutoring deal with her (maybe) worst enemy Theodore Yu, despite his best friend Sebastian Hong still holding a grudge against her. But that's not the only thing going on. Between her best friend Yunji's attempts to raise her own confidence and move on from a longtime crush; Adelina, James and his new girlfriend's not-really-love-triangle love triangle; not to mention Nadia Sorren's sudden increasing friendliness despite all the hostility last year, it's a lot of things to deal with on the year one with the most important exams of your life. But it would all work out in the end. Honoria was sure of it. With exams, the Duelling Club, and friendship drama happening all at once, what wasn't to love at Bridewater College? completed. book 2 of the bridewater college duology [90,000 - 100,000 words]Complete
