⌠Bad Influence (or so they say)⌡

At Blackridge University, appearances are everything and the pressure to be perfect eats students alive behind the scenes. You are one of them — bright, high-achieving and suffocating beneath the weight of expectation. With a clean-cut boyfriend on the rise and a résumé packed to impress, you are exactly the kind of girl parents brag about. But perfection comes at a cost... and you are starting to unravel.

Then there's Liam Brooks, the campus dealer. Mysterious, quiet, always a few feet outside the chaos. A chance encounter on a rooftop brings the two of you face to face.

At Blackridge University — a prestigious East Coast college in Braxton Falls — reputation is everything. It's a place of iron-clad rules, vintage architecture, scholarship elite, and the kind of secrets that settle into the bones of campus walls like mildew.

Welcome!
