    Summary

    In the daylight, Sophia Laforteza looked like every cliché of perfection—student body president, captain of the girls' volleyball team, lead in every musical— the kind of girl whose presence made lives orbit around her. Everyone adored her. Everyone wanted her.

    But there was something no one knew.

    She had a secret.

    And Manon knew it.

    Summary

    It all started with an understaffed college opera.

    It was more a shitshow than an opera at this point.

    Manon should’ve known better. She was a junior and very much busy and had way too much to do and, most importantly, did not know how to ever say no, and now, here she was, ass-deep into the fall with a new source of niche, targeted stress.

    But Lara had come to her, begging her to fill the role of lighting designer with big puppy eyes and a stupid promise to bring Manon as her +1 to the next 3 weddings she would attend.

    God, Manon knew she should’ve said no.

    Summary

    It's the year, 1989. Sophia Laforteza, senior and outcast at Dream Academy High, is just trying to make it through her last year without being bothered by the school's cruel, social hierarchy. But, her best chance at doing so is by joining the DA's most popular, most powerful clique.

    The Heathers.

    As Sophia navigates her new life and sudden popularity, the Filipina must learn what it really takes to survive high school, forcing her to rethink her decisions. Now, having pissed off the leader of the Heathers, Sophia finds herself running into the arms of a more sinister—and MUCH prettier—threat.

    Manon Bannerman, or MB.

    The new, transfer student who brings Sophia's life down a path of deadly consequences.

    Summary

    a chipped ceramic mug. on the bottom, in manon's messy scrawl, is the word MINE, but sophia had used it every morning for three years. she traces the letters with her thumb. the sharpie is starting to fade, it takes her back to a lazy sunday morning in manon's dorm, the one with the slanted floors and the window that never quite closed. manon at the piano in her pajamas and one of sophia's oversized hoodies, playing a soft, nameless melody that she'd never write down because she said it was just for them. sophia making coffee in this exact mug, humming along, the sun spilling gold across the hardwood floors. manon had looked up and smiled, that genuine smile that made sophia's chest ache with how much she loved her.

    "what are you thinking about, mahal?" sophia had asked.

    "forever," manon had said simply, and went back to playing.

    forever lasted two more years.
