Story

The story

Elara wakes on the day she first confessed to her childhood friend Ethan, only to hear him call her desperate in front of the whole hall and turn to Stella, the perfect academic star. But Elara has lived this day before, and she has no attention left for him. Her eyes find Kai, the school's bad boy, and she throws her arms around him, sobbing that he is alive.

Kai is eighteen, flustered and utterly confused by the girl who once threw his confession letter in the trash. Ethan watches with disgust as Elara clings to the one person he despises, begging to see Kai's chest and calling him her husband.

She knows what is coming for Kai, and she will not let him go this time.

Opening excerpt

I woke up on the day I first confessed my love to my childhood best friend.

In the middle of the crowded hall, with everyone egging us on, he looked at my tear-streaked face and said in a cold voice:

"Elara, don't you think this is a little desperate?"

Then he turned, his expression softening for the girl next to him—his perfect, unattainable crush.

"Stella, just a sec. I'll deal with this and meet you."

He turned back to me, annoyed.

"Why are you always crying?" he sighed. "You should try reading a book, Elara. Stop obsessing over this stupid high school romance."
