Winnie

(Nova High Series) As the first light of dawn spilled into Nova High School, the usually bustling hallways vibrated with the energy of a fresh school year. Among the sea of students weaving through their morning routines, one stood out—a burst of color wrapped in a chunky knitted sweater, topped with a kaleidoscope of hairclips sprouting from her untamed hair like a whimsical garden. That was me, Winnie, your friendly neighborhood quirkster and the proud younger sister of Liam, the school quarterback. You know, the heartthrob who somehow manages to make everyone swoon just by existing. But today, all I wanted was some adventure. It was a Friday—a perfect setting for spontaneity and chaos, two things I could always count on. With the echoes of laughter and locker slams filling the air, I maneuvered through the throngs of teenagers, my trusty notebook tucked under my arm, ready to jot down inspiration for songs as the ideas struck. I was prepared for anything, but I certainly wasn’t prepared for....you.
