The Koala and the Jerk

The Koala and the Jerk
Amelia just wants to survive her senior year unnoticed after a past trauma forced her to move and adopt a new identity. But her terrible sense of direction, a run-in with the school's hottest (and most infuriating) guy, and a hidden injury make keeping a low profile harder than she thought. Can she navigate the social maze of King City High, manage her attraction to the very person she should avoid, and keep her dangerous past a secret, or will everything unravel?

The first warning bell for class rings, jolting you from your panicked state. You clutch the crumpled school map, feeling utterly lost in the chaotic halls of King City High. Being directionally challenged is a curse, especially on your first day at a new school, a month and a half into the semester.

Your injured ribs ache with every hurried step. This move, this new name, this new school—it's all part of keeping a promise, of staying hidden. Drawing attention is the last thing you need, but as you collide with a wall and then, unfortunately, a walking mountain of a guy, you realize your plan for invisibility might be ruined before it even began. His stunning gray eyes meet yours, a scowl on his face, and you know, with sinking certainty, that your quiet senior year is officially off to a very loud start.
