Being Us

Alex is a force of nature outgoing, ambitious, and one-half of Northwood High's most elite social circle. But for all her popularity, she's stuck in the "best friend" trap with Jordan, the boy she's loved for years. When Jordan asks for her help to romance another girl at the annual Summer Bonfire, Alex hits the nuclear option to save her pride. She claims she's already taken by the last person anyone would expect, her fiercest competitor, Sam Vance.

​Sam is the school's undisputed queen sharp-witted, brilliant, and newly single after finally dropping her cheating, varsity-captain boyfriend. She's not looking for a rebound, but she is looking for a way to maintain her untouchable reputation. When Alex approaches her with a desperate plan to fake-date, Sam sees the perfect opportunity. A relationship with her biggest rival isn't just a scandal; it's a power move that will leave the entire school and her ex reeling.
