Woodridge Academy, a gorgeous and mysterious boarding school in the middle of nowhere, attended by the offspring of the most rich and elite. Here we find Esme Watts, quiet, studious, and desperately working towards a better future. Getting the music scholarship was a good start, but the pressure is building and she feels it's only a matter of time before she cracks. To make matters worse, in walks Eli. (Smart, confident with a calm demeanour, and... uh... drop-dead gorgeous!) Dark wavy hair, killer cheekbones, and eyes that say a thousand words... features that have lodged into Esme's brain like a shard of ice. After an incident, Esme gets to know the so-called crown Prince of 'mystery' and discovers he's not quite what he appears to be... just like her, Eli is running away from a dark secret. Star-crossed and from different worlds with different expectations, will these two overcome the dark together? Or will they, like many others before their time, have a terribly tragic ending?A DRAMATIC story about the innocence and sincerity of a first love, and the strength it can bring when your world is crashing down...For lovers of dark academia and twilight vibes, classical piano, ginger beer, picnics with soft cheese and fresh fruit, weather that seems to fit with the plot of the story... and uh, hopefully relatable to anyone with crippling social anxiety such as myself! Enjoy!โฆ
