And just so it happens he has a soft spot for cats.

"Not that kind of safeword, you pervert!" I let out a deep breath. "Like, a word we can say when we're done," I explained. "We say it and there's no questions asked. We pretend to break up and walk away. Pretend this all never happened." *** Rory Kane had perfectly planned out her senior year. Great grades? Check. First high school party attended? Check. Getting asking out by her best friend's crush? Not exactly on her list. When Rory runs away from the high school quarterback, Will Porter's, attempts to ask her out, her idea of a quiet and tame year before going to university topples to the ground. Rory is known as the always-bubbly girl with a well of secrets behind her pretty face, but no one could ever imagine the lengths she would go to keep those secrets - AKA make a deal with the school's notorious man-whore and Will's best friend, Carter Grey, to fake date in order to get Will off of her back. As a romantic who's sworn off love, the idea seems simple enough to Rory. Hold hands, maybe a few public dates, and then a dramatic, messy breakup that gets her as far away from Carter Grey as possible and back into her comfort zone. Rory's used to telling what she calls "innocent little lies". So, really, what could possibly go wrong? STARTED APRIL 28TH, 2020 - FINISHED SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2020 Cover by @diwatera

Mia Collins just wanted to get through her senior year of high school with as minimal awkward situations as possible. However, that's kind of hard to do when you have a narcissistic arch-nemesis who's hell-bent on ruining your life. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he seemed to take an immediate dislike. After all, it only took a measly few hours of knowing her for him to kick a soccer ball right at her unsuspecting 11-year-old face. Though they did not know it then, this iconic moment would mark the beginning of what felt like a lifelong feud. Six years later and their mutual hatred for one another is still very much alive and kicking. She despised him, and he despised her and that's the way it always would be. But what happens when sparks fly, and stomachs flutter? Will someone break the eternal feud?
