Sucker

[The Sweets]

Benisse repeats one thing to herself whenever Austen Lao comes into view: you can't confuse like with love. What they have is a casual intimate friendship non-relationship. Seems simple enough... if you discount the real notes her heart beats and the crossed fingers behind her back when uttering the words "I hate you."

She would rather die than admit the truth. Austen has been abundantly clear about where she stands; there's no way the football prodigy could ever feel the same way she does.

Not when his eyes still follow her best friend.

Caught between the lies they tell, Benisse and Austen discover the magic of birthday candles and the dirty truth about wishing on stars. Sometimes what you want is so far from what you need.
