Jade, a 16-year-old cheerleader in the small town of Crestwood, was used to perfection.
She smiled for the cameras, flipped flawlessly during practice, and kept her grades up—all while hiding the ache inside her chest. Something was wrong, but she didn't know what. Every night, the same dreams haunted her: stars falling from the sky, silver wings folding behind a shadowed figure, and a voice whispering her name.
When a new student named Kael arrived at Crestwood High, everything shifted.
Kael was unlike anyone Jade had ever met. He was intense, mysterious, and somehow familiar, like a memory she couldn't quite grasp. His dark eyes seemed to flicker with secrets—secrets that made her heart race and her mind spin.
Then, during cheerleading practice, Jade tried a new stunt. She launched into the air, but something went wrong. Time slowed. The world blurred. She fell.
When she woke up in the nurse's office, faint glowing patterns traced her skin—like the stars from her dreams had etched themselves onto her flesh.
And deep inside, something stirred. Something powerful.
