MAYA KINGis the opposite of your stereotypical rich girl. She's kind, gentle, and tries her best to be a good person. She's a soccer star that surprised everyone by committing to Essex College. She's living her life trying to be the best version of herself, but all of that is challenged when she runs into her former best friend and old flame, Leighton Murray. This stirs up feelings in Maya since Leighton broke her heart without explanation.
LEIGHTON MURRAY is your stereotypical rich girl, she's rude, judgmental, and cares far too much about looks and image. Attending Essex has been her dream since before she could walk. She has plans of joining Kappa and having the best college experience but that is threatened when she learns that her first love Maya King is also attending Essex.
MAYA AND LEIGHTON are different people now. They've both changed with the years and only time will tell if they will be able to find their way back to one another or if it's too late.

••• She was sunshine, I was midnight rain She wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain •••

••• So I peered through a window A deep portal, time travel All the love we unravel And the life I gave away •••
AUTHOR'S NOTE Heyyyy how y'all doing? I know I have a million other stories but I saw a TikTok that said that Savannah and Reneé needed to be love interests in something and I couldn't agree more so I had to write this.
Leighton and Maya are already my babies and I will protect them both.
••• And she never thinks of me Except when I'm on TV I guess sometimes we all get Some kind of haunted, And I never think of her Except on midnights like this •••
