Riley doesnt believe in love, because of some unfortunate events, and Leo has just been through a break up. Because of Leo's parents, he is too embaressed to tell them he doesn't have a girl friend anymore, so when at StarBucks, he asks the great question. "Will you be my fake girlfriend?"

You move to a bright and colorful neighborhood. You take up a job at a store called "Howdy's". One day, one of the neighbors come in looking for Apples but instead, found a love interest.

Charvi Brooks, hiding under a wig and glasses as Avery Adams to work and get money for college, is found out by quarterback, Zane Rivers and gets sucked into his world as he protects her from her stalker, Jaxon who also found out this secret. I begged with a pout and faux doe eyes. "Pretty please." He flashed me his prettiest smile and teased, "With a cherry on top." Charvi Brooks is a simple girl from a complex family. All she ever cared about was having enough money to go to college. Living a double life, what could go wrong? Except from a certain someone finding out her secret. Zane Rivers, quarterback and team captain, most popular guy in school and Charvi only knows him as Zed. But in her defence, he calls her Cherry due to the mop of red hair on Avery's head. He was the worst person she thought could find out about her secret, but she realized how wrong she was when Jaxon, a young man infatuated with her second self, found her out too. She thought having to live a double life was bad, but having a stalker who would stop at nothing to get her was worse. And speaking of complex family, things worsen when her father moves back to town with his new picture-perfect family in tow. Imagine her, her mom, her three siblings, her father, his new wife and her stepbrother and stepsister under one roof. Talk about a large family. And who she had by her side through it all is someone she would have never expected. Could she help the feelings? When these two clash, what could possibly come out of it? **** This is an edited version of my book, "My Forever". The story line remains the same, but some of the plot has been cut out and some things added. You can still read the original book if you want because I am not taking it down, but I strongly recommend this. Finished: 14 July 2023.
