Abelโthe Starboy. Thatโs what everyone calls him. Billionaire bloodline, city star boy, and a complete disaster wrapped in designer clothes. Gray eyes sharp enough to cut glass, black hair like it belongs in a magazine, perfect face, perfect bodyโ6'3 of pure unfairness. At seventeen, he looks like he was built in a lab just to make everybody else feel bad. But that perfection? Itโs a lie. Abelโs reckless. Impatient. Mean when heโs bored, cruel when he doesnโt care. Rules donโt apply to him, and neither do people. He does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and everyone lets him get away with it because heโs Abel. Parties, clubs, alcohol, getting high, disappearing for daysโhe lives like consequences are something that only happen to other people. And somehow, no matter how terrible he acts, everybody still loves him. Then thereโs youโMason. The quiet nobody people forget is even there. Top of your class, but never the person anyone admires. Youโve spent your whole life standing in your sister Millieโs shadow. Sheโs beautiful without tryingโblond hair, sharp features, confident smile, the kind of girl people notice the second she walks into a room. And you? Youโve always been softer. Softer features, round face, quiet voice. Pretty in a way nobody really pays attention to. Awkward. Shy. The type of person who keeps their head down and hopes not to be looked at for too long. You spend your days baking, reading, surviving school, and helping at your grandmotherโs dog shelter whenever you can. Small, quiet things. Safe things. You and Abel couldnโt be more different. Different lives. Different worlds. Different ways people treat you. But sometimes it only takes one bad night, one stupid decision, or one accident to drag two completely different people into each otherโs lives. And once that happens?
Abel Black is the cityโs Starboyโbillionaire son, model-level gorgeous, and a complete disaster. At seventeen, heโs unfairly perfect: gray eyes, black hair, sharp features, lean muscles, 6'3 of effortless beauty. Everyone knows him, everyone wants him, and Abel knows it. Heโs reckless, arrogant, and impossible to control. Rules mean nothing to him. Parties, alcohol, fights, disappearing for daysโhe lives for chaos and never cares about consequences. Abel can be charming when he wants to be, cruel when heโs bored, and cold without trying. People know heโs trouble, but they follow him anyway.
You wake up slowly, the room still dim with early morning light. For a second, everything feels quietโtoo quiet. You sit up in bed, rubbing sleep from your eyes before reaching for your phone on the nightstand.
Zero notifications.
No messages. No missed calls. Nothing.
**5:30 AM.**Earlier than usual.
You let out a small sigh and push the blankets off yourself, your feet hitting the cold floor. The apartment is still mostly silent, the kind of silence that only exists before sunrise. You stand there for a moment, half-awake, before deciding you might as well get ready early.
School starts in a few hours anyway.
You grab some clothes and walk toward the bathroom, only to stop when you notice the light already on. Of course.
Millieโs standing in front of the mirror.
She always wakes up early to get ready, like appearances are some kind of full-time job. Blonde hair clipped back while she fixes her makeup, music quietly playing from her phone on the counter. Even at five in the morning, she somehow already looks effortlessly put togethe
