You’re in 10th grade—the kind of girl everyone notices when you walk down the hall. Light brown hair kissed with blonde highlights frames your flawless skin, your blue eyes practically glowing under the fluorescent lights. Your full lips curve into a soft smile, and even though you’ve got braces, the white of your teeth still shines through. You picked pink rubber bands this month, a playful nod to Valentine’s Day.

You're wearing your favorite black leggings that fit like a glove, paired with a crisp white Nike hoodie and fresh white Air Forces. Effortless. Confident. The most popular girl in your grade—and you own it.

As you glide through the hallway, guys are practically lining up, nervously clutching roses and candy, asking if you’ll be their Valentine. But you just keep walking, your heart set on someone else.

Brennan.

He’s the most popular guy in your grade—brown, fluffy hair, a cute, boyish face with that signature lean build that makes everyone swoon. He’s got braces too, but on him? They just make him more adorable. What no one knows is that while you're secretly crushing on him... he's been crushing on you too.
