What's Meant To Be: Spring
Oh, to be young and in love. That’s what Tristan Rikers keeps hearing as he watches his friends dive into relationships, leaving him behind. For most of high school, Tristan was the textbook definition of a loser—nerdy, overweight, and scared of rejection. But after a summer of transformation, he's starting senior year with newfound confidence, a sharp look, and attention from people who never noticed him before.
He’s caught the eye of Amirah Solis, the girl he’s admired from afar for years. But as the pressures of homecoming, sports, and graduation loom large, Tristan must navigate the challenges of keeping Amirah’s interest while facing the real world that’s fast approaching. Will he finally win at high school, or will he crash back into the shadows he’s fought so hard to escape?
What's Meant To Be: Summer
Tristan did it, kind of. He won high school but lost Amirah along the way—a loss that felt more like a victory in the end. But college is proving to be a whole new challenge. Despite his best efforts, he’s barely managing to stay afloat.
Complicating everything is Kyra Reed, a high school girl he can’t seem to forget. Despite the distance and the whirlwind of college life, there’s something about her that feels different, maybe even special. Since their parting hug before he left for college, Tristan has been torn between exploring what might be with Kyra or diving into the endless opportunities on campus.
With classes picking up, money running tight, and the demands of a college social life pulling him in all directions, Tristan faces a tough decision. Is a shot at something real with Kyra worth giving up a world of new possibilities?
