Brianna Calloway had exactly two goals for seventh grade at Silverwood Academy. Number one: survive it without dying of embarrassment. Number two: ignore Cole Harding. She's already failing at number two. Cole is her neighbour, two years older, annoyingly good at everything, and - as of last Tuesday night - the boy who just confessed his feelings on the bench in her mother's garden, then had the nerve to look smug about it. Brianna doesn't like Cole. She is one hundred percent sure of this. The problem is that nobody believes her. Not Harper, who has been planning their wedding since chapter two of this situation. Not Savannah, who announces everything to everyone. Not the entire seventh grade of Silverwood Academy, who have apparently been waiting for this to happen since the comb incident in sixth grade. And definitely not Cole, who keeps showing up everywhere - the bowling alley, the debate tournament, the school dance - with that infuriating half-smile and the very specific talent for making Brianna feel like the smartest and most ridiculous person in the room at the same time.
