Act One: Prologue

                                    

                                          
Juliette "Jules" Thompson was accustomed to secrets. From the depths of her heart to the melody of her guitar, there were layers of her life she kept hidden, even from those closest to her.
First and foremost was her love for music. Jules's fingers danced effortlessly across the strings of her guitar, creating soulful melodies that echoed through her room late into the night. It was a talent she cherished, a passion she guarded fiercely, revealing her compositions to no one but the moon.
But perhaps the most guarded secret of all was Jules's heart. For years, she had harbored feelings for someone she could never have, someone who occupied her thoughts and dreams, someone whose very presence made her heart skip a beat.
Jules was not popular at school. She preferred the company of her guitar over the hustle and bustle of social life, making her a target for bullies like Karen Beasley. Karen's taunts and cruel nicknames, like "Music Girl" and "Mommy's Little Angel", only added to Jules's isolation, deepening her resolve to keep her true self hidden.
And then, one fateful day, Jules found herself in detention with five other girls, her carefully constructed walls threatened by the unexpected turn of events. It was there, in that unlikely setting, that she laid eyes on Noa Olivar, the girl who's haunted Jules's dreams for years on end.
Noa was unlike anyone Jules had ever met. Her confidence was magnetic, her smile infectious. And when their eyes met, something shifted inside Jules, a spark of recognition, a glimmer of hope. But as much as Jules wanted to let her guard down, to reveal the secrets she had kept hidden for so long, she hesitated. The risks were too great, the consequences too dire.
Little did she know, the flames of her hidden desires were about to be ignited, setting her on a path of self-discovery, love, and the realization that some secrets were meant to be shared.
