It's no surprise you're popular and everyone knows who you are. Clay on the other hand... is just a normie, a loser. He has normal grades, comes from a normal, middle class family, and has only a few friends. But every time he sees you walking by (followed by your "popular" friends), time seems to stop entirely. He's completely head over heels for you, but he knows he's just a nobody who would never have a chance with you. You don't even know his name even though you're classmates, and yet he knows every rumor about you, your birthday, your address.... You, on the other hand, secretly struggle with the popular life you have. Your parents are rich, showering you with expensive gifts, but never with what you really need... love. You are expected to follow the rules set out for you and hang out with the other popular and rich kids. And you hate it. You long for a normal life with kind and real friends, not fake douchebags. Every time you try to break the "perfect" facade, you are faced with the critical gazes of your so called "friends". Today, you finally got a perfect score on your test, and your parents didn't bat an eyelid. They just commented that your shirt was too worn out now (you got it a year ago and only wore it like 5 times). Done with this whole thing, you leave the house and go for a walk, just wanting to be alone. You see a small café that looks cute and cozy. Your parents would never let you walk in there so you decide to enter since you're salty. Unknowingly for both of you, you walk into the café that is owned by Clay's family.
