My highschool doozy

Seventeen-year-old Emma Carter hoped that transferring to Crestwood High would be a chance to finally leave her past behind. New school. New start. No more whispers or painful memories. But everything changes the day she meets Lucas Rivera — the boy with the easy smile, perfect grades, and a reputation as untouchable.



Lucas seems drawn to Emma in a way no one else has been. For the first time in a long while, Emma feels seen — and maybe, just maybe, she can belong. But behind Lucas’s charm is a secret dark enough to shatter the fragile connection they’re building. A secret that could destroy not just Lucas, but Emma too.



As Emma uncovers pieces of the truth, she’s forced to make an impossible choice: protect the boy who finally makes her feel like she matters, or expose the lies that could ruin both their lives. In a world where loyalty is tested and betrayal lurks in unexpected places, Emma will have to find out how far she’s willing to go — and what she’s willing to lose — for the people she cares about.
