No Switching Groups

Forced into the same field-trip group after a painful school fallout, Brielle and Cyrus must face buried truth, shared credit, and returning trust before either of them can walk away unchanged.

Brielle likes things clear. Clear plans. Clear records. Clear reasons to stay away from people who have already let her down. So when a school field trip places her in the same assigned group as Cyrus, the one person tied to a painful misunderstanding from the past, she expects one long day of tension and nothing more.

Instead, a damaged envelope opens the door to a truth that should have reached her long ago.

As Brielle and Cyrus move through museum checkpoints, student leadership work, and a school system built on forms and assumptions, they are forced to confront what really happened between them. The more they uncover, the harder it becomes to keep old hurt in place. But honesty arrives with a cost. A best friend’s mistake, a corrected record, and the fragile work of rebuilding trust leave Brielle facing a question she never wanted to ask: what if the person she was trying hardest to avoid is the one person willing to stay?

No Switching Groups is a clean young adult field-trip romance about rivals, second chances, friendship repair, and the quiet courage it takes to choose honesty over distance.
