DETENTION WITH THE DEVIL 🥹💞

Zara Chan doesn't break rules.
She doesn't fight. She doesn't get detentions.
Until she punched a senior for putting his hands on her little brother.

Now she's stuck for 30 days in Room 12.
With him.
Kian smith . The boy who "burned down the art wing."
The boy with a reputation darker than the smoke still in the walls.

The principal's orders are simple: Restore the library. Together.
But nothing about this is simple.

Between dust, power outages, and threat notes in Zara's locker,
they start telling each other the truths no one else gets.
That Kian took the blame for his sister.
That Zara isn't as perfect as everyone thinks.

They were supposed to hate each other.
They were supposed to serve their time and walk away.

But what happens when the person everyone warned you about
is the only one who sees you?

"If anyone finds out about us, we're ruined."
"Then let them."*

Enemies to allies to something dangerous.
A slow-burn, dark academia romance about secrets, fire, and two people trying to survive after hours.
