Senior year. Just one year left of high school, it can't be that hard.
Scratch that.
Sebastian just lost his girlfriend of three years and Odette has had her Yale dream shattered when told to 'get more involved'.
Fake dating. It's a win-win deal. So stupid it has to be brilliant!
She gains her much needed popularity for her campaign, and he can get his ex jealous.
Pretend to be dating her neighbor, also Pine Hill High's football star, adds his brother, Caleb, into the equation.
They are opposites. She overthinks too much, while he acts first thinks later. They bicker from the very first time.
Caleb finds out that being a pain in her ass is his new favourite hobby. Things only get more interesting when he discovers something she doesn't want anyone to know.
At the same time, Fra, who has always known who he is and to what he is attracted to, is having a rough time getting his family on the same page as him. He has to juggle his family drama, school, and his part time job in the kitchen of Fitlife restaurant. Well at least he has the joy of Don's messages. He is keen on the task of finding out who his charming secret admirer is, oh, he is in for some shock.
Paris Natalli, the head cheerleader, aka the school's queen bee, is not glad to see her ex, Sebastian, with another. But, again, she was the one who broke up and started dating someone new. What gives her the right? Well, the weeks pass and Gabriel, her new boyfriend, makes sure he is always on her mind. He is. Maybe not in a good way...
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him.
Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper.
This is that story.
