CHAPTER 01 :A Terrible First Impression

Summer had begun once again, and so had a new chapter of my life.

My name is Lily, and I had just transferred to Westbrridge Academy, one of the most prestigious high schools in the country

.Thanks to my excellent academic record, I had earned a full scholarship to study there. It was supposed to be a fresh start—a chance to focus on my future and prove myself.

Unfortunately, my first day turned out to be a complete disaster.

As I stood in front of the class to introduce myself, my mind suddenly went blank. The words I had prepared disappeared from my head. My eyes had become fixed on a boy sitting by the window.

A very familiar boy.

The same boy I had gotten into an argument with less than an hour earlier.

I somehow managed to finish my introduction while trying not to panic. Before I could relax, the teacher pointed toward an empty seat.

"Lily, you can sit there."

My heart nearly stopped.

The seat was directly beside him.

I slowly walked toward the desk and sat down, trying not to look nervous. The boy turned his head and gave me a sharp, cold glance. His expression alone was enough to make me wish the floor would swallow me whole.

I spent the entire class praying for the bell to ring.

The moment class ended, I practically ran to the restroom.

When I returned, the classroom was quieter. The boy was sitting with his head resting on the desk, earphones in, seemingly listening to music.

I stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

Finally, gathering all my courage, I whispered,

"Sorry."

The reason for our argument was embarrassingly simple.

Earlier that morning, his car had accidentally brushed against me while entering the school parking area. It wasn't a serious accident, but I had completely lost my temper. Without giving him a chance to explain, I had yelled at him, insulted him, and stormed away.

At the time, I had no idea who he was.

He hadn't argued back. He had simply stared at me with an annoyed expression while I made a fool of myself.

Later that day, one of my new friends revealed his identity.

The moment she told me, I felt the blood drain from my face.

The boy's name was Evan Carter.

He came from one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the country.

Everyone at Westbridge Academy knew him. Not only was he incredibly handsome, but he was also a successful young model. His family owned businesses worth millions, and wherever he went, people seemed to know his name.

Unfortunately, Evan was also known for having a short temper.

The realization hit me like a truck.

Out of all the people at this school, I had chosen to insult him on my very first day.

Great.

What could possibly go wrong?

At that moment, I thought the worst was already behind me.

I had no idea that this was only the beginning, and that my relationship with Evan Carter was about to turn my entire life upside down.
