2004. Germany.
Tom Kaulitz is used to getting what he wants - the stage, the crowd, the girls. As Tokio Hotel begins to rise, so does his ego... until she shows up.
She's the Brazilian guitarist in a rival band - quiet, sharp-tongued, and completely...
Two days after her birthday, Isadora was flipping through burned CDs in her room, still wearing Tom’s oversized black hoodie — sleeves swallowed her hands, and his cologne still clung to the fabric.
Nina texted her a link with a 😳 emoji.
> “Uhh… dude, check this.”
It was a fan forum. Grainy photo. Blurry background. But clear enough:
Isadora Almeida. Hoodie. Tom Kaulitz’s hoodie.
The caption?
> “Tom’s new mystery girl? 👀 Hoodie twins or something more? 👁️💋🖤 #KaulitzKryptic #PhantomFlame”

Pretend that's she wearing his hoodie Below it, comments were exploding:
“That’s DEFINITELY her. She’s in Phantom Youth.”
“Not even subtle. He’s been seen with her twice now.”
“Manager cover-up incoming in 3…2…1…”
Isadora’s stomach dropped.
She hadn’t posted the photo. Neither had Nina. Only three people had taken photos that day: Nina, her mom… and someone on the street who might’ve lingered too long.
Her phone buzzed.
Tom:
> “You saw it?”
Isadora:
> “Yeah. This is bad, right?”
Tom:
> “Kinda. But like… we’ve survived worse. Wanna call?”
Isadora:
> “No, just… see you at rehearsal.”
Minutes later, her manager called.
> “Look, sweetheart. It’s not your fault, but we need to spin this — fast. Let us take care of the press. You? Stay chill. Don’t post. Don’t comment. Don’t even like a post about it.”
At rehearsal, the Phantom Youth squad was half-whisper, half-curious.
