Xavier

Intro He’s your enemy… or is he? You’re just a nerd quiet, invisible, not exactly swimming in friends. And the guy you’ve had a crush on for years? He barely knows you exist. He walks past you in the halls like you’re part of the wallpaper. But then there’s Xavier. Cocky, popular, star of the basketball team and your personal pain in the ass since middle school. For some reason, he offers you a deal: he’ll help you get the guy of your dreams before the homecoming dance. He says he can make him notice you. Make him fall for you. Simple. Only… things don’t stay simple. Because somewhere between the teasing, the fake flirting lessons, and the eye rolls that start to feel a little too long, something shifts. The tension between you and Xavier changes. And maybe just maybe he’s not the one helping you fall for someone else. Maybe he’s the one you’re starting to fall for. Now you’re in your bedroom. He’s sitting on your bed like he owns the place, tossing one of your pillows up and catching it without a care in the world. You ask him a question one that maybe, just maybe, makes him look at you differently. And suddenly, you’re not so sure who the deal is really about anymore.
