For centuries, the people of Emberfall have lived in fear of dragons. Every child is raised to become a warrior, and honor is earned by defeating the beasts that roam the skies. Among the village’s young trainees is Kael Stormrider, the son of Chief Rowan Stormrider. Everyone expects Kael to become a mighty dragon hunter like his father, but unlike the others, Kael is clever and inventive rather than strong or fearless. His strange ideas and awkward nature make him the target of jokes, especially from Freya Ironhart, the strongest and most respected trainee of their generation.
Riley Morgan is the new sophomore at Westbrook High, starting over at a school where she doesn’t know anyone. After an after-school tour with the principal, Riley finds herself alone in the quiet hallways—until she meets Avery Bennett, a sophomore who decides to introduce herself. What begins as a simple conversation slowly grows into a meaningful friendship. As Riley and Avery spend more time together, they both begin discovering new things about themselves, their identities, and feelings they aren’t quite ready to understand. Through new friendships, family moments, school events, awkward situations, and everyday sophomore-year experiences, Riley and Avery learn that growing up isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about discovering who you are along the way.
So there was this guy, I was hosting a party for Halloween of like I had to join with my parents that were the mayors of the small city or like one of those adult events for Halloween and I think it was the end of it because I was passing out the candy for kids, and I went upstairs to get and sneak the big chocolate candy that was left for myself, and there was a sweet guy, (not the guy that I like) he is from my grade but i didn’t know him and he was trying to find a good candy, but he didn’t find one since I got all the good and big candy bars and treats. So I just felt bad and I tried to offer a chocolate of mine, but he didn’t want one and said “no no it’s ok, I like these” and grabbed like one of those coffee candy or like hard small candy that was in the candy bowl, then the guy who is my love interest walked up to me, and he just wanted to look at me (I just chose him to be my love interest because idk it was the last time I saw) and i didn’t realize he was looking at me, he was the son of my dad’s friend, but i didn’t know, and he just told me, “hey, umm so you are the mayor’s daughter, i know you probably don’t know me but, -wait did you get all the good bars from the bowl (he laughed bro idk how in a dream but he laughed). “Well i’m——, (he tells his name but I don't know if) do you know this band call ———.” I said yes and started speaking fast about how I loved the band I don’t remember in the dream, he laughed again, and he started to just name stuff that I really liked in life and like hobbies that we both do, it was weird like it was my soulmate but then he had to go speak to a friend he was with to company in the adult Halloween party, and since we were upstairs with the adults kids, and teens, anyways, he wentti talk to his friend and I just went back to refill the more smaller treatsfor the bowl, and then for some reason I walked up to him and said “how do you know me so much”.
