{I stared at him shocked, as be stuck his jersey number on my cheek with rhinestones.
"But everyone-"
"Fuck them." He said, cutting me off. "All that matters is you princess."
He kissed my lips, for the thousandth time this year, yet it still took my breath away every time.}
Kalie Murphy, more often called Feather by classmates and teachers, is an Irish-American high school Junior who made it her mission to remain unseen and unheard. Just the bookworm who loved Crochet in the corner. The good Christian girl, a virgin and straight A student who is expected to become a physicist or doctor, when all she wants to do is write.
Until the school's up and coming Quarterback Thor Radcliff, A Cherokee teenager, wanders into the library one day, looking for a book to help him in his English Class.
Feather agrees to help Thor with English as long as he keeps quiet about their meetings, as her father would kill whatever boy tried to meet with his girl. But Thor and Feather draw closer, and Thor is in Love with , even if they can't be seen together by anyone who might leak the news.
Unfortunately this means even their friends, besides Gina, Feather's best friend, and Ollie, Thor's best friend.
But love can make you stupid, and Feather wants nothing more than to be with her boyfriend.
The day of the big game comes, and everyone is there. Thor wants everyone to know Feather is his girl. He intends to participate in the tradition of players kissing their girls during the big game and giving them their numbers, even if it means problems with her father.
Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching.
Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.
