When 17-year-old Juniper Torres transfers from Barcelona to the elite halls of Daleton Prep, she hopes for a fresh start and a chance to blend in quietly. But from the moment she steps into the historic, high-status school, she realizes she’s anything but invisible. As the only child of a cancer-researcher parents who relocate to New York for a high-stakes medical fellowship, Juniper is immediately overwhelmed by the posh crowd, designer accessories, and the mysterious hierarchy of the school’s students—especially the notorious Daleton Boys, a trio of dangerously charming and powerful guys who seem to rule the campus like kings. Things shift when she befriends Jasmine, a quirky, kind scholarship student who helps her navigate the minefield of social circles, secrets, and silent wars. But Juniper’s curiosity is piqued—especially when she locks eyes with Grayson Barrington, the icy and magnetic leader of the Daleton Boys, rumored to have a dark past and a murder charge lurking in his history. As Juniper gets pulled deeper into their world—balancing friendship, fear, and fascination—she must decide whether to play it safe or risk everything to uncover the truth behind Grayson’s secrets… and maybe her own.
View MoreJuniper I spent the whole day angry and ignoring Grayson. I was fucking mad at how he handled what happened between us this morning in his car. Immediately he dropped us off at school, I stormed out of his car, not waiting to hear whatever shit he had to say this time. I was done! His confusing attitude was seriously starting to piss me off. I was currently changing into my gym clothes in the girls locker room when all of a sudden I heard the door open. Looking to see who it was that came in, my eyes locked in to see Grayson. He stood tall and handsome in front of me with a blank look on his face. I watched him lock the door as I heard the latch close, as my heart thudded widely in my chest at his sudden presence. It was just the both of us in the room and I feared for what might happen. “What’re you doing here Grayson? This is the girls locker room” I stated giving him a scowl. “We need to talk” he replied simply. “Talk about what exactly?” I huffed as I turned away from him
Juniper “Juniper, wake up. It’s time for school” my mum hollered as she shook me awake. “Mum please, just five more minutes” I begged sleepily. “No baby, today is your midterm exams so you have to be in school early” she scolded making me groan as I got up from my bed. “Ugh I hate Monday’s” I mumbled as I walked towards the bathroom to have my bath. “Be ready in ten minutes and come down for breakfast so I can drive you to school on my way to work okay” she said and finally walking out of my room as I walked out of bed. Midterm exams were starting today and I was prepared for them, I had studied all weekend so I was sure that I would do well. After my shower, I walked out with a towel tired around my body as I put on my underwear and school uniforms. Pairing it with my black tights and combat black boots. I brushed my hair and styled it into a really nice bun as I slowly recited the periodic table. Once I was done dressing up, I picked up my backpack and phone, slammin
FLASHBACK (TWENTY YEARS AGO) “Yeah I am, I’m thirty.” Isabella said locking eyes with him as he flashed her a charming smile. “You don’t look a day over twenty three” he teased causing her to laugh at his way of speaking. “You don’t say..” Isabella laughed as he deeply admired her smile, her laughter igniting a spark within him. “I apologize for my friend Eric, she’s just not used to these sort of events” Catherine butted in mistaking the situation to be something else giving Bella cautious looks to behave. “It’s okay Cathrine, no need to apologize. She’s quite refreshing and I would love to know her more” he said causing Isabella to stare at him in surprise. He was interested in getting to know her? Why? Catherine’s face fell into a frown as she picked up on the vibe between her friend and Eric not quite liking how quickly they were moving forward. “Oh my god Catherine! I love this song!” Isabella bursted out into joy with smiles on her face as her favorite upbeat song p
FLASHBACK (TWENTY YEARS AGO) Catherine and Isabella stepped out from the taxi in gorgeous looking evening gowns as they both walked into the hall side by side with excited smiles on their faces. Camera flashes were seen around as curious photographers tried capturing their beauty with their hands gesturing for them to both pose for the cameras. They both walked with elegance on the red carpet as they gave short poses and flashed smiles to the small crowd that gathered around behind the paparazzi. They were both just so excited to be seen and fawned over by the people who stood outside to watch the important dignitaries and celebs walk into the building. After they were both done with their red carpet debut, they entered into the hall where the event had already fully begun. “Wow, this evening gala night has been so amazing Cat, Everything and Everyone in here screams expensive. I don’t think I belong amongst these people” Isabella whispered to her as she started to feel uncomfort
Catherine. I could feel his body heat and inhale his masculine scent and it drove me crazy. I turned my face away from his with anger as I felt him drag my face to look at him in anger. “What do you want Cole? Let me go!” I shouted but his smirk just widened slyly enjoying how he was able to trap me in his arms. “Remember Catherine, how you used to sneakily come into my room and we’d fuck like there was nothing else to live for. How much you used to love sucking my dick..” he said smugly as my mind went back to the memories of us dating in college. We were obsessed with each other, more like I was obsessed with him. He was my first love, the only man I let get very close to me to see my scars. “Stop this cole and let me go!” I shouted not wanting him to see how his words were getting to me. How those memories came back in waves and hunting me. “I hate how beautiful you still are Cathrine, how much those nights still haunt me and how you think you are so untouchable because of
Catherine I was relaxing on my bed reading a book when there was a knock on my door. “Come in” Douglas walked in and gave a brief bow before speaking to me. “Madam, Mr Cole Stratton just arrived and he asked to see you” “Already?!” My eyes widen in shock not yet sure on how I’d act with him around. “Yes madam, he’s currently in Mr Barrington’s study” he answered before walking out of my room and closing the doors behind him. I packed back and forth feeling extremely nervous as I thought about how I could deal with the current circumstances of him being back. Cole was an incredibly smart man and he was very close with my husband so he’s definitely going to be very watchful of my movements. I can’t have that! Picking up my phone i immediately call Rajesh hoping he’d have any solution in dealing with this problem. “Hello gorgeous, missing me already?” He teased “Now’s not the time Rajesh! We have a new problem in our hands. Cole is currently in the house” I said serious
