Let's start fresh from Chapter 1 of your urban high school romance with dual POV. The tone will be light and flirty, emotional, dramatic, and a bit steamy — just the way
[LUCAS – POV]
It started like any other Monday—late, loud, and slightly chaotic. I had my earbuds in, hoodie up, ignoring the world. That was until Principal Oduyemi cleared his throat and stepped aside to reveal… her.
"Class, meet our new student—Jasmine Adebayo."
Jasmine. She had this aura—quiet confidence with sharp eyes and a sarcastic smirk that made my stomach flip. Not the usual scared new girl. She glanced around like she'd already figured us out.
I didn't expect her to sit next to me.
"You're in my spot," I muttered.
She raised a brow. "Then scoot over."
I knew right then—Jasmine wasn't like the other girls. And for some strange reason, I couldn't stop watching her.
[JASMINE – POV]
New school. New city. Same annoying teenage boys.
But Lucas was different—brooding, popular, and clearly used to getting his way. Too bad for him, I don't play by the rules. When he mumbled about "his spot," I almost laughed.
Still, something about him intrigued me—like he had secrets buried beneath that arrogant grin.
By lunch, I'd already heard whispers:
"She's hot, but trouble."
"She's the girl from Lagos… heard she got expelled."
I didn't care. I wasn't here to make friends. I just wanted to survive senior year quietly.
But with Lucas watching me like that?
Quiet wasn't going to happen
