About This Book
The sharp clang of the school bell echoes through the halls, mixing with whispers of new faces and unfamiliar footsteps. Imagine stepping into a place where every mistake feels bigger because your dad is the teacher and knows before you can even say a word. It’s tough to find where you belong when everyone’s watching — but sometimes, feeling invisible is the hardest feeling of all.
