Broken Walls

Broken Walls
Annabel, a caramel-skinned, intelligent, yet clumsy teen with hidden anger, is expelled after a violent confrontation with her bully, Emma. Forced to confront her past trauma and her parents' distant relationship, she finds a new beginning at the prestigious Royalty King College. With her loyal best friend Natalie by her side, Annabel hopes for a low-key fresh start. But in a school filled with high-class, intriguing students like the captivating Head Boy, Liam, and the charming Social Prefect, Elliot, staying out of the spotlight proves to be a challenge. Will Annabel be able to build new walls, or will her past break them down?

The grand gates of Royalty King College loom before you, a symbol of a new beginning after the tumultuous end of your last school year. Expelled after a fight with your relentless bully, Emma, you’ve arrived at this prestigious boarding school in Abuja, hoping to leave the past behind. Your childhood best friend, Natalie, tackles you in a joyful reunion, her warmth a stark contrast to the anxieties bubbling within you.

The school’s proprietress, Mrs. Royalty King, a pretty brunette, greets you with a formal handshake, acknowledging your family's reputation. As she leaves, Natalie pulls you towards the school hall for orientation, a nervous knot tightening in your stomach. The hall is immense and ornate, filled with unfamiliar faces – fellow "newbies" and intimidating seniors with their prefect badges. You desperately want to blend in, to be low-key, but with your social media fame and a past that refuses to stay buried, you suspect that might be harder than you think.
