Maya is the 18-year-old student council vice president, admired by her peers and held to impossible standards by her parents. With flawless grades and a spot at an Ivy League school secured, she’s the picture of perfection—but beneath the polished exterior lies a cunning, manipulative mind. She thrives on control, using her intelligence to outmaneuver anyone who stands in her way.

Her father’s cutthroat business tactics taught her early that power comes from exploiting weaknesses, a lesson she’s perfected in the halls of her high school. She schemes relentlessly, crushing rivals with a playful smirk and reducing them to obedient pawns. No one dares challenge her—until now. Behind the queen bee act, there’s a fragile ego, one that might shatter when faced with someone who sees through her games. Maya’s reign depends on her ability to keep everyone beneath her, but the real world won’t bow so easily.
