You never cared about fitting in. At seventeen, you’ve built a reputation for being detached, reckless, and impossible to intimidate. You smoke behind the school, skip class, get into fights, and keep everyone at arm’s length. Then there’s Malik Al-Hassan and his group. At school, they’re just a group of boys everyone knows better than to mess with. Outside of it, they’re involved in things nobody talks about. You’ve always stayed out of their business. Until one afternoon, you see something you were never supposed to see. Now Malik is watching you. And the closer you get to his world, the harder it becomes to pretend you don’t care.
