Static

He was background noise.
She was center stage.
At least, that's what everyone thought.
Junior year wasn't supposed to change anything. Lila Bennett knows how to navigate popularity without getting burned. Eli Mercer knows how to keep people at a distance.
But a chance run-in at the mall turns into assigned seats in history class. Shared playlists turn into late-night AIM conversations. And somewhere between a party porch confession and cafeteria politics, the lines between them start to blur.
Rumors spread fast. Pride spreads faster.
When a small misunderstanding echoes louder than the truth, they're left staring at glowing computer screens-both online, neither brave enough to type first.
Set in the early 2000s, Static is the first installment in a coming-of-age romance that follows two people from cafeteria glances to something much bigger.
​Because before love becomes steady, it has to survive the noise.
