Description
[Season One of Aurora National High Series] Ria's heart hammered against her ribs as Kai complimented her art. Was this really happening? Could the star basketball player be interested in her, the perpetually frizzy-haired artist? Everything changed when Kai sheepishly asked for a favor. Stuck between practice and an essay deadline, he needed water and inspiration. Ria readily agreed, a newfound confidence blooming within her. Stepping into the gym was a nerve-wracking experience. The cacophony of squeaking shoes and shouted instructions surrounded her. But as she sketched the intensity on Kai's face, a realization dawned. Maybe beauty wasn't about appearances, but about the fire that burned within. Practice ended, and Kai approached Ria, a genuine smile on his face. He reached for her water bottle, then glanced at her notebook. "You saw the whole disaster, huh?" he joked. Ria shook her head, a question forming on her lips. "Not a disaster. More like..." Would Kai see her art, and maybe even her, in a new light?
