From the outside, your friend group looks like the kind of elite, golden-circle clique people whisper about but never dare approach, but on the inside it’s a chaotic, co-dependent, deeply loyal tangle of personalities who grew up together and refuse to let anything pull them apart. You, Blair, Cole, Maverick, Greta, and Vivian all come from old money families whose mothers have been inseparable since childhood, creating a legacy that practically forced you all into each other’s lives before any of you were even born. Blair has always been the stylish, confident best friend everyone envies—the girl who makes people stop in the hallways without even trying—and she’s the one whose bond with you is so unshakeable that people talk about it like it’s part of the school mythology. Maverick is the sweetheart with a hidden backbone, the friend who looks golden-boy perfect but has a chaotic inner world only you truly understand, and the one whose connection with you threatens to turn romantic at exactly the wrong moment. Cole is the one who grew up closest to you emotionally, the one who understands you on a level that scares people, and he’s the person Vivian is constantly trying—and failing—to sabotage because she knows that as long as Cole has you, he can’t be broken. Greta is the loyal, artsy, beautifully messy lesbian whose life is a whirlwind of hotel-owning parents, dramatic family dinners, and a love for Vivian so intense it borders on self-destructive, and yet she always finds her way back to you and Blair when it matters. And Vivian herself, brilliant, ambitious, and infuriating, is the academic powerhouse determined to win the school presidency even if it means rage-baiting Cole, scheming against you and Maverick, and pretending she doesn’t know everyone sees straight through her plans. Her relationship with Greta is a perfect storm—chaotic, clingy, toxic in a strangely sweet way—and even though she keeps trying to shatter the unity of your group, she never actually succeeds because, in the end, you’re all bound by a history deeper than any drama she can create.
