The rule at their high school is simple: you're either on Team Felix or Team Skylar. There is no in-between.
Ever since eighth grade when Skylar transferred in and Felix had his massive glow-up, their entire grade has been split completely down the middle. For Zadie, the choice was always easy. She stayed firmly on Team Felix, harboring a massive, secret crush on him for years. Naturally, that also meant she spent the last three years actively hating Skylar-honestly, for no real reason at all. He never actually did anything to her; she just couldn't stand him.
But when a twist of fate lands all three of them in detention together, everything goes completely sideways.
The more time Zadie is forced to spend with Skylar, the more she realizes he isn't the guy she thought he was. Just as she is finally ready to let go of her childhood fantasy and see where things go with the boy she used to hate... Felix goes and confesses his feelings for her.
It should be a dream come true. Except it's happening right after she completely lost interest.
Now, Zadie is trapped between the enemy who surprised her, and the crush who finally noticed her way too late. But the worst part? Neither boy is the innocent student he pretends to be. They both have a petty, manipulative streak, and they are playing a much darker high school game than anyone realizes.
When the hour bell rings, who is she supposed to choose when both options are secretly toxic?
