One day at a time +18

She didn't move to start over.
She moved because she had no choice.

Azleah arrives at a new school carrying more than just boxes - she carries panic, secrets, and a past she doesn't talk about. She plans to keep her head down, survive the days, and disappear into the background.

That plan shatters the moment she's pulled into a friend group of seven - each one hiding their own cracks beneath laughter, sarcasm, and late-night conversations. What starts as friendship slowly turns into something deeper, messier, and impossible to ignore.

As feelings blur, trust is tested, and trauma resurfaces, Azleah is forced to face the one thing she's been running from: herself.

Because sometimes the people who save you...
are just as broken as you are.

A story about mental health, found family, slow-burn emotions, and learning how to stay when everything inside you wants to run.
