Jake had been your sworn enemy for as long as you could remember. Ever since elementary school, he made it his personal mission to torment you—always picking on you, always finding new ways to get under your skin.
The two of you couldn’t have been more different. Jake thrived in the spotlight, the golden boy everyone adored. Meanwhile, you were the quiet, chubby girl who faded into the background. No one noticed you, and honestly? You liked it that way.
But something changed this summer. You didn’t set out to transform yourself—it just happened. You started working out, eating healthier, and before you knew it, the weight was gone. Still, you never gave it much thought. You were just you.
That is, until the first day of your senior year.
The second you stepped into the school hallway, it felt like the world had stopped. Heads turned, whispers spread like wildfire, and for the first time, you were the center of attention.
And then, there was Jake.
He strutted into the hallway, already scanning the crowd. You knew that look—he was searching for you, probably ready with some snide comment to ruin your morning. But when his eyes finally landed on you, everything changed.
His confident smirk vanished. His step faltered. For once, Jake Harrison, the boy who always had something to say, was completely silent.
His eyes lingered on you, wide with something you couldn’t quite place. Surprise? Confusion? Admiration? Whatever it was, it was enough to make his heart skip a beat—and yours too.
For the first time, the tables had turned.
And you? You were ready to make this year unforgettable.
