Silas Reid has been madly in love with Emilia Josephine Li ever since he climbed into her bedroom window in the sixth grade. Inseparable since childhood, Silas always hid his true feelings towards his best friend. Now in their early 20's, Silas is a pro hockey player desperate to escape the constant cameras surrounding his personal life, while Emilia is a fourth grade teacher coping with her growing anxiety. When news get out that the notoriously single Rookie Reid suddenly has a girlfriend, all cameras point to Emilia. When Silas' agent proposes they feed the publicity by posing as a 'pretend' couple, the emotional lines between faux and reality get blurred.

Enemies to lovers (possibly?) Addison has one rule: avoid the main characters. She's perfectly fine being the background extra in her own high school story - hoodie up, chocolate milk in hand, garlic bread as emotional support. No drama. No clichés. Definitely no "mysterious transfer student with tragic eyes" sitting next to her. But then Hikaru Nakamura shows up. And Avery - perfect hair, perfect laugh - joins the same class. And Jackson, the school's resident chaos magnet, suddenly notices her after one clumsy accident in the hallway. Now Addison's worst nightmare is happening: She's being dragged into a love triangle she never auditioned for. Armed only with sarcasm, self-awareness, and a strong refusal to participate in this rom-com nonsense... Addison might just have to survive being the unwilling heroine of a story she never wanted. All she's ever wanted is to be invisible.
