❝What if I don't want to be popular?❞
Riley Matthews's mother, Cassandra Matthews, invites one of Riley's classmates to stay with them while their parents are out of the city for a few weeks. This kid is no other than nerdy Harry Styles, the biggest loser attending Westview High School. With Harry staying just across the hall from Riley, she can't help but feel some sort of affection towards Harry and tends to get to know him before he leaves the Matthews house. When Riley gives Harry the opportunity to become popular, why does he decline the offer? Will he ever change his mind about becoming like Riley or will he just stay the quiet guy in the shadows?

He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
