They were never supposed to be friends-let alone fall in love.
Her family hates him. His family hates hers. But that never stopped Cassandra, Fred, and his twin George from becoming the ultimate chaos trio when they met in their third year. Partners in crime, masters of mischief, and sworn prank war champions, they've spent years turning their school into their personal playground along with many more friends.
But everything changes after one prank goes too far-leaving Cassandra and Fred staring at each other like they're seeing something new. Like maybe, just maybe, they were never meant to be just best friends.
Falling for him was never part of the plan, and neither was the return of his old fling-the one girl who's always had a claim on him. Now, Cassandra isn't just battling her feelings but also the nagging fear that she's just another game to him.
With their whole lives taking a sharp turn with feuding sides and an ex who isn't ready to let go, love has never been more complicated. Or more dangerous.
Some risks are worth taking. But what if this one breaks them apart?

He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
OR
Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.
