Bully

by Emily Dash

Evie does her best to stay small, hoping the school’s spotlight—and Noah’s sharp tongue—never lands on her for too long. But one moment of compassion pulls her straight into Noah’s world, cracking the mask he hides behind and exposing the bruised places neither of them ever show. A charged encounter leads to a kiss that should never happen, and suddenly the roles they’ve worn for years no longer fit. As whispers spread and loyalties twist, Evie tries to hold on to her quiet life while discovering a side of Noah that disarms her. Noah battles the pressure to stay who everyone expects. Their fragile bond pushes them to face truth, shame, and the longing to finally be seen.
