𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ Malika Badu; the perfect, nerdy, good girl who's never noticed in school. Asher Jones-Crown; the bad boy who can't seem to stay away from a fight. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ When Asher is threatened to get kicked out of school by his father―the principal―after having gotten into too many fights; Asher doesn't care. Until he gets told that he'll be disowned too. Asher knows his father, and with the look in his eyes, he can tell that the man isn't kidding around. Asher is given an ultimatum; stay away from fights, be good, try in school, and he'll get to stay being his father's son. When Malika accidentally overhears this conversation that she was so obviously not supposed to hear, she tries to do one thing―run away! But before she can, Asher stops her. Malika has had a crush on Asher for two years and out of all the ways she's wanted to get his attention, eavesdropping on his private conversation hasn't been one of them! Strangely though, Malika spots an opportunity. With her sudden newfound courage Malika makes an offer, she won't tell anyone about what she's just heard if he agrees to one thing―being her fake boyfriend.
