Aria arrived at Oakwood Academy, her father's imposing figure waiting.
"Welcome, Aria," Headmaster Wynter said, his expression stern.
"Ethan Blackwood, your student guide," he introduced.
Ethan's charming smile and piercing blue eyes made Aria's heart skip.
"Hi," Ethan said, his voice warm.
Aria nodded, feeling a flutter.
"Liam Nightshade, our top student," her father continued.
Liam's brooding gaze and chiseled features left Aria breathless.
"Welcome to Oakwood," Liam said curtly.
Aria sensed a rivalry.
"Rules are clear, Aria," her father emphasized. "No trouble. Focus on studies."
Aria nodded, determined.
As she followed Ethan and Liam, Aria wondered:
Will I fit in?
Will I conform?
Or will I rebel?
