Loves Clashing

By: Wheat, Lorraine A.

At CLASH, an elite arts and science academy, everyone must play the social game. Prizes are love, respect, and status. Sidenote: the game is rigged. Cheat at your own discretion.

Zoey Raines has big dreams. She's a fashion student on scholarship to the best arts academy in Los Angeles, CLASH. Even though she aces her fashion projects, she's failing at the social game. No matter how many cool TikToks she and her bestie Ian post of their nights out salsa dancing, no one at CLASH wants to be her friend. She blames Vega for trashing her all over social media. Image is everything at CLASH, so her messy reputation leaves her a social outcast. Forget about ever winning a date with her crush, Sebastian.

Sebastian Bautista is America's top dance influencer. His success landed him and his twin sister, Vega, a docuseries-yet, Vega sucks so bad she kills his love for the craft. Which is why he drops his sister and holds auditions for her replacement. What a shock to his system when Zoey comes out of nowhere and auditions. Sure, he's seen her and Ian's TikToks. They're amazing, but can he risk choosing Zoey when she's not a classically trained ballerina?
