Y/N has a reputation at schoolβtroublemaker, rule-breaker, always absent, always distant. But none of that matters when it comes to Aria. Sheβs been by his side since they were kids, the only person who truly knows him. Even after skipping school all day, he still shows up every afternoon just to wait for her. And in a world full of rumors, one truth stays the same: he always comes back for her.
Bella and Y/N were once inseparableβhigh school sweethearts who grew up together, loved each other deeply, and everyone expected to last. But somewhere along the way, things broke. A painful, messy breakup left them as strangers in the same hallways, forced to see each other every day but never speak. Now itβs senior year, just one month before prom. Nothing has changed on the surface: Bella still smiles with her friends, Y/N still hangs out with his. They pass each other in school like theyβve never known each other at all. But beneath the silence, everything is still thereβunfinished feelings, unspoken words, and memories neither of them has fully let go of. As prom approaches, old emotions begin to resurface. With graduation closing in and their lives about to split in different directions, both are forced to confront what they lostβand whether some endings were ever really meant to be final.
βΈ» Y/N Bennett has never gotten along with Isaiah Volkov. Heβs cold, controlled, and impossible to readβthe kind of man who walks into a room and makes everyone quieter without saying a word. As her older brotherβs best friend, heβs always been a permanent, unwanted presence in her life. And sheβs always hated it. Isaiah, in return, finds Y/N reckless, stubborn, and far too unpredictable for her own good. Every interaction between them is sharp, tense, and filled with unspoken frustration neither of them bothers to hide. For years, theyβve mastered the art of avoiding each other while still being impossible to fully escape. Until circumstances force them closer than ever before. What was once simple mutual dislike turns into constant conflict, unavoidable proximity, and a growing tension neither of them understandsβor wants to admit. Because some people are easy to ignore from a distance. But impossible to forget once theyβre too close. And Y/N and Isaiah have never been good at staying apart.
