Imani Cruz is 15, petty, and glowing through the chaos. She liked Zayden, but he kept her lowkey-never posted her, never claimed her, just vibes and silence. So she came up with a plan: fake date Micah to make him jealous. And yeah... it worked. Zayden's finally looking her way. But now? Micah's the one she can't stop thinking about.
Micah talks wild, kisses harder, and says things like "I think about you even when I don't want to." He's messy, unpredictable, and high half the time-but when he's with Imani, it feels real. Too real. And Imani? She's stuck between the boy she's always wanted and the boy she pretend to date.
The parties are loud, the drama is louder, and the feelings hit like a playlist you can't skip. Ashley's claiming Micah, Sorrel's throwing fries and wisdom, and Imani's trying to figure out if she's the villain or the main character, lots of family and friend drama, Alinah returning, and Sorrel's niece, Amari, finding herself in a love drama.
This is a story about young teens who finds love in the most unexpected way...
It was just pretend... until it wasn't.
Black Woman + Asian Men.
