Elina is quiet, introverted, and fiercely selective about the people she lets in. She prefers a small circle of trusted friends over the chaos of school life and values honesty above all else. Quick to get irritated, slow to trust, and easily melted by genuine kindness, she navigates her days with caution—until two very different boys enter her life.

Draven is arrogant, reckless, and seems to thrive on making her life complicated. Every glance, every smirk, every teasing remark feels designed to test her patience. Lyric, on the other hand, is kind, charming, and effortlessly attentive—appearing at just the right moments to make her heart skip a beat.

She doesn’t trust easily. He doesn’t care—and that’s exactly what scares her.

Friendship, crushes, chaos… and a bench that knows all her secrets. Some people make life messy. Some make it unforgettable. Elina is about to learn that the messy moments can also be the most memorable—and the people who seem impossible to understand might be the ones who matter most.
