Atlas Landen was known as the troublemaker at Lakeside High, skipping classes and throwing wild parties. But beneath his tough exterior, he fiercely protected his friends, especially Jake, his closest companion.

Calista Jones, on the other hand, was everything Atlas disliked—a popular girl known for breaking hearts. When Atlas discovered Calista had betrayed Jake, his anger flared. He couldn't stand the sight of her laughter or charm, consumed by resentment.

Their encounters were fraught with tension, each confrontation fueled by Atlas's lingering bitterness and Calista's attempts to explain herself. Yet, despite his animosity, Atlas couldn't ignore the curiosity that stirred whenever Calista was near.

As time passed, Atlas began to question his hatred. Was there more to Calista than he'd thought? Could he look beyond his loyalty to Jake and see her as a flawed yet human being? It was an internal struggle for Atlas, torn between his loyalty and the growing realization that forgiveness might not be weakness, but strength.
