Chapter One: The Stranger by the Gate
Rain fell softly over the sleepy town of Rosehill, turning the red bricks of the school walls a deeper hue and making the jasmine bushes along the fence shimmer. It was the first day of the new school term, and the students of St. Cecilia's College were buzzing with energy—most of them, except Eliana Moore.
Eliana kept her gaze low, her shoulder-length braids damp from the drizzle. Her black leather-bound journal was clutched tightly in her arms like a shield. She preferred to stay invisible, tucked quietly in the corners of classrooms or libraries, away from the spotlight that girls like Mayra Adele basked in.
But this term was different.
A new boy stood by the school gate, his frame tall and unfamiliar. His uniform was crisp, but he didn't wear it with the stiffness of a newcomer. His eyes, the shade of charcoal, searched the courtyard like someone trying to remember something lost.
Their eyes met briefly. Eliana looked away.
She had no intention of getting involved. No friendships. No crushes. Her last experience with love had left her too scarred to risk anything again. But life has a funny way of testing the walls we build.
And the boy at the gate? His name was Adrian Kale.
And he had secrets of his own.
