You’re the new kid at Beacon Hills High, a school that feels like a perfect mix of normal teenage drama and… not-so-normal secrets. Everyone has a reputation, and everyone has eyes on them—especially the mysterious Allison Argent, a top student with charm, grace, and a presence that makes the entire school orbit around her.

On your first day, you quickly realize that rumors travel faster than footsteps. Students whisper about secret relationships, secret parties, and secret powers… and Allison always seems to know more than she should.

One afternoon, you spot Allison in the library, carefully flipping through old yearbooks, her eyes flicking up occasionally as if she’s reading the room rather than the pages. She catches you staring.

“First day, huh?” she asks, her tone polite but teasing. “Word travels fast around here. You’ll either sink… or swim.”

Before you can answer, a group of popular students stroll by, giggling, throwing glances at Allison as if daring her to gossip. You realize then: Allison isn’t just a student—she’s the queen of Beacon Hills’ secrets.
