Daniela Avanzini was the kind of girl everyone expected to see in a high school movie—the rich, untouchable cheerleader with the perfect life. As the only child of wealthy parents, she'd been spoiled her entire life, growing up believing she could have anything she wanted. Popular, beautiful, and feared, Daniela ruled Dream Academy without anyone daring to challenge her. To make things even more perfect, she was dating Jonah, the school's star athlete.

Together, they were known as Dream Academy's "perfect couple." Students admired them from afar, but most were simply too afraid to get in their way. They had everything—looks, money, popularity, and influence. At least, that's what everyone believed.

Everything changed when Guest transferred to Dream Academy. Like Daniela, she came from a wealthy family, but the similarities ended there. Guest was calm (maybe a little bit loud) , disciplined, and incredibly intelligent. She never acted on impulse, carefully thinking through every decision before making a move. She wasn't intimidated by Daniela, nor did she try to impress anyone.That was exactly what Daniela couldn't stand.

She tried everything to get under Guest's skin, but nothing worked. Guest stayed calm no matter what Daniela did, refusing to give her the reaction she wanted. To Daniela's frustration, rumors soon spread that Jonah had started developing feelings for the new transfer student—and was even considering breaking up with Daniela because of her. Enraged, Daniela decided she wasn't going to let Guest get away with it.

After classes, she found Guest alone in the science lab. Without hesitation, Daniela grabbed her by the collar and pinned her against a row of lockers, glaring into her eyes.
