This is a story about almost saying the words, almost crossing the line... and what happens when almost isn't good enough anymore.

when mike wheeler aka the 'king of hawkins high' is failing chemistry, his teacher recommends something that sounds ridiculous.. what will happen when mike wheeler meets his tutor, eleanor hopper slow updates !

Eleanor Jane Hopper is the untouchable queen bee of Hawkins' high school; beautiful, popular, and used to being admired by everyone. But three months before graduation, her perfect life is shattered when a car accident leaves her in a coma. Instead of fading into darkness, Eleonor wakes up as a ghost-like presence, invisible to everyone around her. An angel offers her a strange deal: if she wants to wake up from her coma and graduate, she must spend the rest of the school year as the guardian angel of Michael Wheeler. Eleanor agrees, though she's far from happy about it. She knows who Michael is; the awkward nerd who spends lunch talking about board games with his equally nerdy friends. The only reason she's ever paid attention to him is because everyone knows he's been hopelessly in love with her for years... as if a guy like him could ever have a chance with someone like her. But things get even stranger when Eleanor realizes that Mike is the only person who can actually see her. Instead of being happy about it, he wants nothing to do with her. The crush he once had on her has morphed into bitterness, and he does everything he can to push her away. Forced to stay by his side until the end of the school year, Eleanor must learn how to help someone who hates her, and in doing so, she may finally discover the kind of person she should have been all along.

Mike Wheeler is used to people liking him. Eleanor Hopper definitely does not. She's sarcastic, impossible to read, and somehow always ready with an eye roll whenever he speaks. So when Mike needs a fake girlfriend to survive the world's messiest breakup, El should be the worst possible option. Instead, she says yes. Now there are rules, public appearances, accidental jealousy, way too much hand holding, and a growing problem neither of them seems willing to talk about: maybe pretending to be in love would be easier if they actually hated each other.

He hates her world. She hates his attitude. Now they're forced to date each other. Trapped in a six-month fake dating contract to save both their careers, they must smile for the cameras, post couple goals, and pretend they don't want to kill each other. Except the more time they spend together, the more the hate turns into something far more dangerous: tension, temptation, and terrifyingly real feelings. (Mileven au)

maybe it's a blessing in disguise, i see my reflection in your eyes. (mature themes.)

She aces every test, studies for hours on end, and could probably solve a calculus problem in her sleep. But when it comes to boys? She's completely clueless. Dating isn't like solving a math equation - there's no formula, no answer key, no guarantee you'll get it right. On the other hand, Mike Wheeler is effortlessly handsome... and academically tragic. He knows every football play and far too many bedroom positions, but ask him to name three Amendments and he's suddenly fighting for his life. When Mike's mother pairs him with the genius for a tutoring program, Sparks don't just fly- they explode. She needs to learn how to live. He needs to learn how to think. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to tell who's actually teaching who. And when secrets from Jane's past start surfacing, Mike will have to decide. Is she just another lesson, or the one thing he's finally willing to learn for?
