"In a high school where everyone's watching, two girls learn how dangerous pretending can really be."
When Ria Geldricks fakes a relationship to spite the ex who shattered her trust, she never expected Tem-the school's unbothered tomboy with a mean jump serve and an even meaner mouth-to actually play along.
It starts as a petty game. A few photos. Some hand-holding in the hall. Just long enough to stir the gossip.
But what's pretend gets blurry fast.
Between unplanned hangouts, loaded silences, and sharp words hidden under smiles, Ria begins to see that Tem might be more than a bluff against her ex. And Tem, despite her best efforts, finds herself protective of a girl who doesn't even know how much danger she's in.
As secrets crack and reputations twist, Ria has to ask herself:
Is dragging someone into your mess still harmless... if they stay?
