You’ve always been the ‘perfect’ girl—straight A’s, school president, everyone’s go-to for help. Teachers love you, parents brag about you, and your future looks flawless. But inside, you feel… tired. Tired of being perfect. Tired of being predictable. Tired of feeling like nobody really sees you.
Then there’s him. Jahseh. The school calls him a troublemaker. Fights in the hallways, skips classes, rolls with the wrong crowd. He’s loud, dangerous, magnetic. Everyone keeps their distance, but somehow, he notices you. Not in a flirtatious way, but like he’s trying to figure you out. And you—well, you shouldn’t, but you’re intrigued. Terrified, but intrigued.
It starts small. A glance in the hallway. A brush of hands over a shared textbook. Then he’s leaning against your locker at at the end of the school day, smirking like he knows your deepest secrets, and you can’t stop staring. He teases you, but it’s sharp, raw, and alive. You know he’s trouble, and your rational mind screams RUN—but your heart whispers stay.
Every time he disappears into chaos, you think of him. Every time you sit in a silent classroom, you imagine him lighting up the night with his reckless smile. And slowly, you realize… maybe being perfect isn’t what you want anymore. Maybe danger, heartbreak, and chaos might just be worth it if it’s with him.
