Wilson thought leaving high school behind meant leaving Brando behind, too. After four years of being the quiet kid everyone loved to hate, Wilson is finally getting the fresh start he always wanted at UCLA. New city. New people. New life. This time, no one knows him as the weird, musically gifted kid who was an easy target. Then he walks into his freshman dorm room and finds Brando unpacking his bags. Brando—the star athlete. The boy everyone loved. The boy whose friends made Wilson’s life hell. Brando never bullied Wilson himself. He never joined in. He never said the cruel things his friends did. He just never stopped them. Now they’re eighteen, thousands of miles from home, and forced to share a tiny dorm room. Wilson wants nothing to do with him. Brando wants a chance to make things right. But college has a funny way of turning old enemies into unexpected friends—and sometimes, into something neither of them is ready to name. Because you can’t outrun your past forever. Especially when your past is sleeping ten feet away.
