Illutext
Maya, the University's most popular but emotionally distant student, believes her fierce possessiveness over her lifelong best friend, Aisha, is a pure protective instinct-or worse, a guilty, sudden crush on Aisha's handsome new boyfriend, Liam. As the entire campus mistakes Maya and Liam's intense interactions for a budding romance, kindhearted Aisha steps aside, convinced her own love can't compare to the explosive chemistry between the two popular stars. Liam, however, sees the truth: Maya isn't fighting for him; she's desperately fighting her own denial. When Liam makes his move and wins Aisha's heart, Maya is left alone to confront the devastating, undeniable realization: the feelings she tried to tell herself were for him, were always, irrevocably, for her.
