Description
Melo: "What do you want, Ntsikayomuzi?" Me: "Just thought we could walk together. You know, call a truce." Melo: "You think a simple walk will make us friends?" Me: "No, but it's a start." . . . . . . When 15-year-old Melokuhle Nanayemhle Bhengu and Ntsikayomuzi Ntando Nkosi first meet, they're anything but lovers-they're rivals. Competing for the top spot at school, their clashes are fiery, their banter sharp. But somewhere between stolen glances and constant teasing, the line between competition and connection begins to blur. In the sunlit suburbs of Beacon Bay, love finds them in unexpected ways. Yet, as they navigate family expectations, friendships, and the weight of first love, they realize that not all promises are meant to be kept. Some hearts are made to break.
