At Asylum Academy - where glitter-stained hallways, messy house parties, and chaotic friendships define teenage life - everyone knows everyone's business.
Especially when it comes to Alan and Elliot.
Alan has been in love for longer than he can admit. He memorizes the way Elliot laughs, the way he moves through crowded rooms, the way he doesn't realize how magnetic he is. To Alan, Elliot is something distant and glowing - close enough to touch, but somehow always just out of reach.
Elliot, on the other hand, has no idea what's happening. He thinks it's just friendship. Just late-night talks, shared looks, and quiet moments that feel heavier than they should. He doesn't understand why Alan sometimes seems far away - like he's watching something fragile from the sidelines.
Meanwhile, their friends turn the whole thing into a spectacle. Salem and Meow write dramatic songs about their "slow-burn romance." Oli geeks out over the tension like it's a live-action love story. Nine and Maya draw comics and fanfiction inspired by every glance they exchange. Even as Tyrone grumbles that the whole thing is weird and overblown, he can't ignore the way something real lingers between them.
In a school full of noise, parties, and emotional chaos, Dazing From Afar is about the quiet kind of love - the kind that grows in stolen glances, unspoken confessions, and the terrifying hope that maybe, just maybe, the person you've been admiring from a distance might finally start looking back.
