Two worlds apart

He's the new boy.

Aloof. Guarded. Impossible to read.

Nobody knows why he left his old school, and he has no intention of telling anyone.

She's quiet. Introverted. Content with her small world-one best friend, books, science, and the future she's carefully planning.

They were never meant to notice each other.

But when they're placed in the same classroom, ordinary school days slowly turn into something neither of them expected.

She begins noticing the things everyone else overlooks-the exhaustion behind his silence, the hurt behind his anger, and the boy hiding beneath the reputation.

He doesn't want to be understood.

She doesn't try to fix him.

And somewhere between equations, rainy afternoons, whispered glances, and everything neither of them is brave enough to say, two strangers from completely different worlds begin to unravel each other.

But his past isn't finished with him.

And loving her might mean letting her see the darkest parts of him-the very things he's spent years trying to hide.

Sometimes the person who sees through your darkness becomes the reason you finally believe in light.
