The Locker Next Door
by Liberty Frantz
Maya has always been comfortable staying in the background-books in hand, friends by her side, and a quick wit that hides how out of place she sometimes feels in the crowded halls of Willow Creek High. But when her new locker assignment lands her right next to Ethan Carter-the school's star basketball player and everyone's favorite flirt-her quiet routine is turned upside down.
Ethan isn't used to girls rolling their eyes at his charm, and Maya isn't used to having the most popular boy in school pay her any attention at all. What starts as playful banter between classes slowly shifts into something neither of them expected-late-night talks, stolen glances, and a connection that doesn't care about stereotypes or high school labels.
But the hallway spotlight can be harsh. Rumors spread, friends have opinions, and both Maya and Ethan will have to decide if what's growing between them is strong enough to survive the pressure.
A sweet, funny, and heartfelt high school romance, The Locker Next Door proves that sometimes the person who changes your world is standing just one locker away.
