❝𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘮?❞ Johnny scoffed. ❝𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮?❞ Lynn frowned as she crossed her arms. ❝𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦.❞ Lynn only agreed to fake-date 𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘓𝘢𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 to protect her friend 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘭 𝘓𝘢𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘰 and give Johnny a shot at winning back his ex, 𝘈𝘭𝘪 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴. It was supposed to be simple, pretend to be in love, keep the bullies off Daniel's back, and don't catch feelings. Easy, right? Daniel even helps with the plan-both to give Johnny a distraction before the tournament and to get more time alone with Ali. If things go right, Johnny will be too focused on Lynn to notice what's happening... and Ali will slip off his mind quickly. But as late-night rides, whispered jokes, and unspoken moments start piling up, Lynn begins to wonder if pretending is starting to feel a little too real. The worst part? She has no idea if Johnny feels the same way, or if she's still just part of the plan to win Ali back. Things only get more complicated when Ali starts falling for Daniel... and doesn't want Johnny back at all. -𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘓𝘢𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 & 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘖𝘤 𝖳𝗁𝖾 𝖪𝖺𝗋𝖺𝗍𝖾 𝖪𝗂𝖽 𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟯 -𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯 𝘎. 𝘈𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘴𝘦𝘯

Demetria Rose Barrett has spent her whole life in Woodsboro - and most of it caught between Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. The three of them grew up side by side: Billy, her quiet anchor; Stu, her reckless storm; Demi, the loyal secret keeper who never quite let anyone see what she needed. Now, as senior year unfolds, the bonds that once felt unbreakable are shifting. Sidney Prescott is suddenly at Billy's side, Tatum Riley is wrapped up in Stu's arms, and Demi finds herself on the outside looking in - torn between longing, jealousy, and a love she can't admit out loud. But in Woodsboro, secrets never stay buried for long. As whispers turn to screams and friendships fracture under the weight of blood and betrayal, Demetria must face a terrifying truth: sometimes the people you love most are the ones holding the knife. 💥 Themes: Love as Obsession/Obsession as Love "They loved her like a secret they couldn't tell - or maybe like a secret they couldn't bury." Love and Violence - and the Thin Line Between "Some loves cut deeper than knives - the difference is that knives don't whisper your name." Hidden Pain and Emotional Numbness "Her house wasn't haunted. It was just quiet enough to sound like one." Identity and Self-Deception "Everyone wore a mask. Hers just smiled better." Friendship and Betrayal "Trust was currency in Woodsboro - and everyone was broke." Survival vs. Surrender "She'd never killed anyone, but she knew what it felt like to want to." {Billy Loomis X fem! OC) {Mature Themes Hinted} {Adult Language} {Strong Violence} Word Count: 156,707 Started October 5, 2025 - Finished January 15, 2026
