Summary

story follows a teenager navigating the chaos of high school, starting with the loss of her childhood best friend Mia after a traumatic event in Year 8, which leads to years of loneliness, drifting friendships, and a decline in mental health. Things begin to change when she meets Shannon at a youth group in 2023, whose steady support helps her rebuild her confidence. Just as life starts to stabilise, Lily‑Rose unexpectedly enters the picture — first through small conversations at school, then through daily Snapchat chats, and finally through spending almost the entire May half‑term together. As their friendship grows quickly and intensely, the narrator realises she’s beginning to fall for Lily‑Rose, especially when her playful flirting starts affecting her in ways she can’t ignore.

Chapter 1


If anyone had told me at the start of Year 11 that my biggest problem would be falling for my best friend, I would have laughed.


Then I would have reminded them about my maths grade, my family’s ancient washing machine, and the fact that I once walked into a lamppost while waving at someone who wasn’t actually waving at me.


Looking back, I probably should have taken the warning.


High school is one of the most craziest times. Especially when you’re almost finished and heading to college. Many would say high school is such a fast time going. Which it is but it’s also based on the year.


For example year 7 goes somewhat fast just because everything is new and no one knows where there going

in year 8 it’s one of the most boring years because your not the youngest you know your way around, and it’s a pretty chill year.

Year 9 is also really slow because you’re deciding what GCSEs to take and it’s your last year doing boring lessons you don’t want to do.

Year 10 goes fast because it’s your first year doing your options and the anticipation of year 11.

Year 11 is the fastest of them all. And only being there for 6 months is shit scary. Because you have to sit your actual GCSEs. It flys by and by the end you have made so many new memories.
