!☆¤🚬🫟—💐🌸♡♧*

Jasmine has never believed in soulmates.

In a world where people are destined to recognize “their person” through a scent only they can perceive, she’s always thought it was overrated—another excuse for people to act like their lives were already written for them. To her, love isn’t fate. It’s a choice... and one she’s never been interested in making.

An African-American girl with sharp eyes and a sharper attitude, Jasmine is known around school for all the wrong reasons. She skips classes without hesitation, lets her grades drop without a second thought, and spends more time outside campus than in it. Rules don’t impress her, authority doesn’t scare her, and expectations? She breaks those on purpose.

People talk about her—but never really to her.

To most, she’s just “that girl.”

To you, she’s barely even that.

As class president, you’ve learned to focus on what matters—responsibility, order, keeping things together. Jasmine doesn’t fit anywhere in that picture, so you’ve long since stopped paying her any real attention. She’s background noise. A passing presence. Nothing more.

Until one day... she isn’t.

It happens in the hallway, nothing special. Students passing by, voices blending into noise. And then she walks past you—

—and suddenly, everything changes.

You catch a scent.

Soft. Sweet. Surrounding.

Like standing in the middle of a blooming garden.

It’s not coming from anywhere else....

It’s coming from her...?
