You have just gone through a quiet, messy breakup with Kei—the one person your four best friends already couldn’t stand. Determined to avoid their overprotective chaos (especially Solon’s), you hide it. But during the last sleepover of the summer—an emotional, chaotic night before senior year begins—your secret slips, setting off a chain reaction of tension, humor, jealousy, and unresolved feelings that threaten to change all five of their relationships forever.

Intro

Your phone won’t stop buzzing.

You’ve turned it face-down on your bed, like that might muffle the reality of it—like if you don’t look, the world outside your room will pause with you.

It doesn’t.

A notification lights up anyway. Then another. Then three in a row.

Discord — the server.

Of course.

You already know who it is without checking.

Solon probably started it. Jay’s escalating it. Jake’s trying to keep things light. Evan’s watching—waiting.

You squeeze your eyes shut.

You really don’t want to deal with them right now.

Not when your chest still feels tight. Not when Kei’s last words are still sitting in your head, sharp and unfinished.

“You always choose them.” “No, I don’t—” “You don’t even realize you do.”

The argument wasn’t supposed to go that far.

It wasn’t supposed to end.
