When Nobody Fell In Love

I never planned on falling in love.

Especially not with someone like Adrian Gonzales.

He's the kind of guy everyone knows.

The kind of guy people talk about even when he's not around. The kind of guy with a hundred rumors attached to his name, but somehow, no one really knows who he is.

And me?

I'm just Allysa Maniego.

I like my life simple. I mind my own business. I don't let people get too close.

So when a rumor starts going around that Adrian Gonzales likes me, my first instinct is to laugh.

Because there's no way.

Until he looks at me and says,

"You're really not good at pretending you don't notice me."

That's when everything changes.

Maybe he isn't who everyone says he is.

Maybe I'm not as unaffected as I thought.

And maybe falling in love was never the problem.

Maybe the problem was falling for him.
