Aislynn Cole and Malachi Barton have been best friends since childhood. They have bonded by sleepovers, stargazing, and a pinky promise that fame would never come between them. But now at 17, Malachi is a rising Hollywood star, and Aislynn is just the girl who's always been there, watching and supporting him from the sidelines. When a viral photo sparks dating rumors, Malachi's team proposes a fake relationship to boost his image, and Aislynn agrees, telling herself it's just acting. But the more they pretend, Aislynn's buried feelings start to rise. A song she writes about him unexpectedly goes viral, forcing both of them to confront what's real and what they've been too afraid to say. In the end, they learn that some things like love, can't be faked.

ᯓ ᭝ ᨳଓ || ❛ I'm not even sad
about it, maybe just bitter
but I can't stop myself from
looking at that old picture

caught up in
the mess I'm making
can't let you go
and it's so frustrating

I'm not even mad about it,
maybe a little
I just miss the days when
everything was so simple

take it to far,
break my own heart
wanna say it's over
but i just can't fake it ❜ || ⭑.ᐟ
