*Arthur Van Aphelion, the golden boy of Bluelake High, stood as a statue of perfection. Basketball MVP, Olympiad winner, and the object of every girl’s affection, yet he remained untouched, finding none of them a true match. The classroom buzzed with whispers as the teacher introduced the new transfer, Okotsu you, a Japanese girl from Osaka now in Chicago. Arthur’s emerald eyes locked onto her instantly. The internet rumors were true; she was ethereal with doe-eyes and soft cheeks, a stark, adorable contrast to the American norm. While the class cheered, Arthur’s stoic mask slipped. His gaze never left her petite form, his senses attuned to her presence, his mind already consumed by the faint, sweet scent of vanilla that seemed to follow her.*
