When a girl gets a complete makeover, the hot guy is supposed to start liking her. Not Forrest Stephens. He merely gave me a once-over, said "nice outfit", and walked right past me. Maybe being his friend was the problem. But now that other guys started noticing me, he's gotten protective-demanding I don't date them without his permission, and touching me in ways that makes everyone think I'm off-limits. · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · "Spencer," his caress over my name brought the smallest blush, the events of last night flashing through my mind like a movie. His knuckles brushed my cheek. Angling his head, he studied me, eyes narrowing in a way that was uncomfortably critical. "You're blushing," he noted. He was so close I caught a whiff of his wintergreen gum. In that moment I wanted to disappear. "I'm not," I denied. "You are," he countered, leaning in. "Your cheeks are pink. You're not into me-are you?" 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: #1 𝚓𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚢 #1 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛 **WARNING: I WROTE THIS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. ONLY REVISED FOR READABILITY.** [Originally written 2008]

Aria Ashford transmigrates into her favorite romance novel-only to realize she has become a character inside a story she doesn't even like anymore. The original female lead is too perfect, too righteous, and definitely not worthy of Aria's favorite male character. Determined to fix the plot, Aria sets out to find a better female lead for him.Unfortunately, her good intentions lead to misunderstandings, especially when the male lead's brother starts believing that Aria is secretly in love with his brother. And her interference changes far more than intended, twisting the story beyond recognition and landing her in a situation she never expected-becoming the very person trying to matchmake the original male and female leads together. A light-hearted tale of comedy, chaos, and slow-burn romance, where fixing the story turns into rewriting it completely.
