Smaltownromance Stories

Cassidy Reed has always been one of the most popular girls at Westvale High. She's gorgeous, confident, effortlessly intimidating, and knows exactly how to get what she wants. The only thing she can't seem to get right is school. With her grades slipping and prom on the line, her parents finally force her to get a tutor. Blair Callahan is the last person Cassidy expects to ask. She's smart, quiet, brunette, and has spent years being mocked by Cassidy's friends for her geeky interests. Blair refuses at first, convinced Cassidy is just another mean girl. But when Cassidy offers her a deal-Blair helps her pass, and Cassidy teaches her how to become popular-she finally agrees. What Cassidy doesn't expect is for Blair to actually be good at it. Really good. Soon, the shy girl everyone overlooked is getting attention from everyone at school, and Cassidy starts wondering if she's created her own competition. Then Blair catches the attention of Cassidy's boyfriend, and whatever friendship they had quickly turns into something much uglier. Jealousy, betrayal, and rivalry begin to blur the line between hatred and something neither of them wants to admit. Because Cassidy may have taught Blair how to become popular, but she never taught her how to stop being a threat.
