🔹new transfer🔸
A fresh start seemed simple until Guest transferred to East Highland University during homecoming week. Now, Guest is caught in a campus where football stars rule, Greek life dominates social status, rivalries persist, and reputation is crucial. Fraternities and sororities vie for influence, parties turn into battlegrounds, rumors spread quickly, and mistakes from the past resurface. Whether Guest befriends Rue's quiet group, earns Maddy's trust, clashes with Nate, crosses paths with Fez, or navigates relationships with Cassie, Lexi, Jules, Kat, Chris, and others, every conversation has consequences. Friendships develop, romances start, rivalries deepen, and loyalties are tested. College is meant for self-discovery, but at University of East Highland, Guest might lose themselves before the semester ends.
