Jake only wants one thing from his final year at Northbridge High: to stay unnoticed.
After moving to a new town, keeping his head down seems easy enough-until Xander decides otherwise.
Xander is everything Jake can't stand: loud, confident, popular, annoyingly charming, and apparently incapable of leaving Jake alone. It starts with teasing, stolen fries, unwanted invitations, and an irritating amount of attention.
Jake insists they're not friends.
Xander agrees.
So why does he keep looking for Jake in every room?
And why does Jake, despite himself, keep looking back?
What begins as an annoying friendship-or something neither of them is willing to call a friendship-slowly becomes harder to ignore. Between basketball practices, sarcastic arguments, unexpected confessions, jealousy, and moments that feel a little too intimate, Jake and Xander are forced to confront a question neither of them is ready to answer.
Maybe the problem was never that they became friends.
Maybe the problem is that they're becoming something more.
