8 parts Ongoing MatureAriana and Chris were inseparable as kids-until middle school, when Chris's rising basketball career and pressure from his mom forced him to cut ties with her. He didn't just leave her behind-he became one of her biggest bullies. Now, as high school seniors, Chris is the school's star athlete, and Ariana is the quiet, intelligent girl who keeps to herself.
Chris doesn't know that Ariana never truly stopped caring about him, despite the years of pain he's caused her. And what Ariana doesn't realize is that Chris has been in love with her all along-too afraid to admit it and to risk everything.
When Ariana finally reaches her breaking point and confronts Chris about his cruel treatment, secrets are spilled, emotions run high, and buried feelings resurface. Chris is determined to win back not just her trust, but her heart. But with years of hurt between them, outside pressures, and a girl who wants to come between them, will love be enough?
