What's the worst that could happen when a socially anxious nerd crosses paths with Paramount High's golden boy quarterback in a game of Fear Pong?
Spoiler alert: Everything.
°*°
Clark Alderman has always kept his distance---from parties, from chaos, and especially from Ethan, the effortlessly charming demon quarterback with a habit of turning everything into a spectacle. But after a magical dare at a party gone wrong, Clark finds himself bound to a new weekly routine: being picked up by Ethan every Tuesday.
What starts as a reluctant arrangement quickly spirals into something much bigger. A wrecked convertible, a levitating bunny, and a looming school documentary competition throw Clark into the center of attention he never asked for. To fix what's broken, he'll need help---from his friends, from himself, and inconveniently, from Ethan.
As tension gives way to trust, Clark must navigate magical mishaps, hidden truths, and emotions he's spent years trying to avoid. But with each passing Tuesday, the line between enemies, allies, and something more begins to blur.
