It's told in first person perspective by a girl, Leah. Leah has two best friends, Tayah and Simone. The three were inseparable all through middle school and their freshman year of high school. It was their freshman year when they met a guy. His name was Riley. Though he caught the attention of all the girls, Simone, of all, was the lucky one. But the other two girls were caught in a daze when Riley starts making passes at them as well. What will Leah do when time comes to tell all? Will she confess to her own demons, as well as Tayah's, or will she save Riley in the long run?
A kiss can change everything. One kiss with your best friend, and it changes the whole dynamic.
What will you do when you get to know that your best friend has been in love with you? What will you do when she doesn't want to be friends anymore and wants more instead?

"Everytime I see you with a guy, my skin fucking burns" Millie hisses, pinning me with an intense look that makes my belly flip. I am pinned to the wall with her caging me. "Do you know how hard it is to pretend that you are only my friend, and nothing more? That I love you but cannot have you?"
Her words spin inside my head, and the thundering beating of my heart echoes in my ear.
How do we come to this situation? I pant as she leans closer, her eyes averting to my parted lips. I am having thoughts of kissing her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now.
Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. "I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard" she whispers in my ear and I squirm.
When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. "Then don't." I crash my lips on hers, crossing whatever lines we had.
