At school, reputation comes first—and truth comes second. Y/N is the girl everyone thinks they already understand. The one labeled “trouble” long before she’s ever spoken to. She stops trying to correct it, because no one ever listens long enough to change their mind. Garrison Wither is the opposite. Perfect grades, perfect behavior, perfect future already decided for him. The kind of student everyone praises without ever asking what it costs him. When a performing arts project pairs them together for a duet on identity and reputation, neither of them has a choice but to work side by side. What starts as forced collaboration slowly becomes something heavier—something neither of them expected. Between rehearsals, arguments, and half-spoken truths, the image they’ve both been carrying starts to crack. Because sometimes reputation isn’t who you are. And sometimes the person you’re paired with is the only one who sees it.
