Introduction
"Hello dear reader, and welcome.
This is the Meridian School of Arts.
Where music echoes in the halls, paintings dry on the walls, and stories live quietly behind every smile.
But not all performances happen on stage.
Some happen in whispers. In sideways glances. In the spaces between old friends.
This is a story about a mistake made in middle school that never really left.
About a girl everyone thought they knew.
About two boys who grew up beside her - one who stayed, and one who tried to walk away.
If you believe in second chances, in healing, and in love that's messy but real...
Then come in. The curtains are about to rise."__
