Albeit some hindrances, her life's quite smooth sailing. No competitor for the top spot, and she's ready to be valedictorian. NOT. Everything changes when Samuel, a transferee, suddenly disrupts Laia's peaceful life, steals her top spot, and spites her to no end. How is that going to end well?

Please note that this is a slow-burn romance! If you're not into characters who would take LONG to actually kiss and get the whole romance getting it on, then maybe this novel isn't for you OR maybe it could be, depends on your taste but I do PROMISE to make it worthwhile if you decide to buckle up and stay for the romance you're looking forward to. Have a fun read, everyone!

Laia & The Transferee

"ARE YOU cheating on my best friend with him?"

Laia didn't hesitate to ask Jake once they settled inside Sawyer's SUV which strangely smelled familiar.

She noticed how Jake's grip on the steering wheel tightened before turning to her with an expression that almost seemed like he was already expecting her blunt question.

"So are you?" Laia repeats when Jake didn't answer her question and instead acted like he heard nothing.

The boy sighs deeply. "I am not cheating on Brie--"

Laia was already conflicted on what to feel and believe after she just found out that the boy who was supposed to have mutual feelings with her was spotted in Germany acting all lovey-dovey with his supposed ex-girlfriend and now she finds out that her best friend's boyfriend is all lovey-dovey with Samuel's older brother as well.

Great. How many more surprises is she supposed to encounter today?
