Aaliyah knows that, but she can't deny the spark that still exists between them.

{A #PrideatWattpad Book Club Selection} A revised version of my unsuccessful entry to the @Wattpad One That Got Away anthology. VERY loosely inspired by the movie Legally Blonde but YA and gayer with way more Black people. After Yves' girlfriend Loren dumps her for nonbinary school genius Phoenix Belmont, she decides to prove she's just as smart as her replacement by running against Loren for student body president. But her plans to use her wits to win Loren back are foiled when Yves starts catching feelings for the person her ex left her for. All's fair in love and politics, until they come to high school. © 2020-present Idris Grey
