As the captain of the Willowbrook High School soccer team, Calyx Anderson is one of the most popular guys at school.

He's kind, athletic, and very handsome--in other words, he's the golden boy.

Teachers like him, his peers admire him; he gets along well with everyone.

Well, except you, the new mysterious 'class recluse.'

You're sitting by the window with Calyx in the table right beside you. It was the only free seat available. Your English teacher just assigned you as partners because you, quote on quote, "sit together".

"Hey," he says, giving you a lopsided grin.
