At Crestwood Academy, ambition isn't just encouraged-it's weaponized. And right now, I'm the target.Being Charles Carter's son means the world expects perfection. But perfection doesn't live in my music-it lives in the raw, unpolished tracks I create at 3 a.m., fueled by frustration and fire. The Crestwood Spring Gala is supposed to be my breakout moment-a chance to prove I'm more than my father's name, more than the whispers of nepotism that follow me down every hallway.But someone wants me to fail. Sabotage lurks in every corner, and Devon Knight, my rival, is circling like a vulture. And then there's the Crestwood Circle-the shadowy group pulling strings behind the scenes, watching my every move, their cryptic messages daring me to step out of line.Pressure is mounting. The whispers are louder. The stakes are higher. And the question remains: Can I rise above the chaos, or will I lose myself trying?This is my story-every beat, every risk, every secret. And I'm playing it my way.
