Chapter 1 — The Boy Everyone Talked About
Taylor Bennett hated school mornings.
Every single day, the school turned into complete chaos the moment Noah Kingston arrived.
Girls whispered about him nonstop. Guys tried copying his style. Even teachers acted nicer around him.
Taylor didn’t understand the obsession.
“He’s just a rich senior,” she muttered while closing her locker.
Her best friend Mia gasped dramatically. “JUST a rich senior? That’s Noah Kingston.”
“And?”
“He’s handsome.”
Taylor shrugged. “That sounds like a personal problem.”
Unfortunately for her, Noah heard that.
Taylor turned around slowly and nearly froze.
Noah stood a few feet away with an amused smile on his face.
“You don’t like me?” he asked casually.
Taylor crossed her arms. “I don’t know you.”
“That hurts.”
“You’ll survive.”
Noah laughed quietly, and somehow that made Taylor nervous.
Before leaving, he tilted his head slightly.
“I’ll change your mind someday, Taylor.”
Taylor stared at him walking away.
“Oh no,” Mia whispered beside her. “He knows your NAME.”
Taylor suddenly felt like her peaceful life was over.
