Sixteen

At sixteen, you're caught in the awkward in-between, navigating messy friendships, complicated crushes, and the sudden realization that nothing is as innocent as it seems. For Grace, this means dealing with her best friend Millie's chaotic attempts to protect her from potential heartbreak and the unexpected arrival of a charming new transfer student. As secrets, crushes, and a wild party collide, Grace must decide whether to play it safe or take a chance on a night that could change everything.

Sixteen feels like an awkward age, caught between childhood and adulthood. Halloway High's cafeteria buzzes with the usual drama, like Shawn Jones bragging about a sleazy conquest.

Later, charging towards the basketball court, you spot your best friend, Millie, intense during a game. Calling her over, you confront her in the changing room about a mortifying text message sent from your phone to a guy you thought was decent. Millie's unapologetic, claiming it was for your own good.

Despite her protective chaos, you share a moment of laughter and connection. The next day, an unexpected encounter occurs when a lacrosse ball hits you on the head. Helping you up is James Ellington, a charming new transfer student. Later, Jugyoung, a friend, reveals she's going to James's party and wants you to come, promising to help you sneak out.
