Divided Worlds in Bloomington, MN

I never imagined that Prescott University-a world of manicured lawns, tailored blazers, and secrets thicker than the ivy-covered walls-would be my reality. As a scholarship student navigating this elite maze, I stick out like a thrift-shop gem in a sea of designer jewels. I'm here to earn my place, but the students flit through their lives as if the rules bend only for them. And then there's Oliver Reynolds: impossibly charming, maddeningly arrogant, and somehow more complicated than his polished exterior suggests. What began as a rivalry over a parking spot has quickly morphed into something else entirely-a reluctant dance around the edges of a world neither of us fully belongs to. But as we get closer, Prescott's facade starts to crack, revealing more than just the pressures of privilege. There are secrets here, and unspoken rules, and the closer we get to each other, the more I wonder if some doors are better left unopened. Because in this world, nothing is as it seems-and no one is truly innocent.
