Dear Diary,
New town, new school, new nightmare. I wanted a fresh start, but apparently, the universe has other plans. Dinner with the neighbors should’ve been uneventful, right? Wrong. Enter the Cross brothers—Aiden, Asher, and Grayson—three boys who make trouble look like an art form. One dinner, and I’m already their new target.
Tomorrow, I’ll face Ridgemont High. If tonight’s any indication, I’m stepping into the lion’s den. Wish me luck. Or better yet, pray for me.
-Lila
***
Moving was supposed to be a fresh start, at least according to my parents. For me, it felt like exile. Our new house stood in a neighborhood straight out of a luxury magazine—manicured lawns, pristine sidewalks, and houses so big they could have their own zip codes. It was a world I didn’t belong in, and I wasn’t about to pretend I did.
I was still unpacking my room when my mom poked her head in. “Lila, sweetie, put something nice on. The neighbors are coming over for dinner.”
I groaned, sinking onto the bed. “Do I have to?”
“Yes,” she said, her tone final. “They’re your father’s new colleagues, and we want to make a good impression.”
Reluctantly, I threw on a plain sweater and jeans. It wasn’t like I was trying to impress anyone.
The Cross family arrived promptly at seven. The moment the front door opened, I was hit with a wave of energy that was equal parts charm and danger. Three boys stepped inside, each so stunning it felt almost surreal.
The first one, with messy brown hair and a grin that could only be described as trouble, was the first to notice me. His sharp eyes raked over me, his smirk widening.
