BO

Y/N has one rule: don't get mad, get even. So when her insufferable lab partner starts bragging about "wearing down" the pretty barista from campus café — like she's a puzzle he's already solved — Y/N decides the easiest revenge in the world is making the girl fall for her instead. It's supposed to be simple. Get in, get the win, get out before anyone notices it was never really about him. Except Emma isn't easy to get close to, and once she lets Y/N in — really in — Y/N stops keeping score. Somewhere between late shifts, hidden sketchbooks, and rooftop conversations that go three hours too long, the con turns into something terrifyingly real. Now Y/N has a truth she can't outrun and a girl she never should've let herself love — not like this. Not from a lie. Some plans are easy to walk into and impossible to walk back from.
