MY DAYS AT CRYSTAL GEM ACADEMY
15 parts Ongoing On paper, Olafemi Arasimisoluwa Kaylila is flawless, a star student at Crystal Gem Academy, cherished by her doting family, and gliding through life without a ripple. But beneath the surface of straight-A report cards and effortless charm, Kaylila guards a secret-one that threatens to unravel the perfect image she's spent years crafting.
As high school plunges her into whirlwind friendships, heart-stirring crushes, and the chaos of teenage self-doubt, Kaylila's hidden battle with a chronic health condition becomes harder to ignore. Every smile masks fatigue, every achievement hides a struggle, and the pressure to be enough for her family, her friends, even herself pushes her closer to breaking point.
In this raw, heartfelt journey through the storm of adolescence, Kaylila must confront the truth: perfection is a facade, and growing up means embracing the messy, aching, luminous reality of being human. Will she find the courage to let the world see the real her flaws, fears, and all before the weight of pretending crushes her?
Join Kaylila as she discovers that the brightest gems aren't flawless... they're the ones brave enough to shine through their cracks.
