Falling For My Best Friend, Michael.

Marlena and Michael were like magnets. From the awkward first days of high school to exchanging sarcastic jokes, late-night study sessions, sleepovers, and quiet moments they never quite named, their bond only deepened over time. They attended each other's sweet sixteen, went to prom together, and became each other's sidekicks; childhood best friends who were inseparable, even as unspoken feelings began to grow between them.

But as time passes, people who once knew Michael begin to see him differently. Life becomes more complicated, and his rising fame slowly starts to pull him and Marlena in different directions, just as they begin to understand what they truly mean to each other.
