During the summer before senior year, Ethan underwent an incredible transformation. He returned to Sherman Oaks High completely different from the boy everyone remembered. The awkward kid from the previous year was suddenly confident, attractive, tattooed, stylish, and effortlessly cool. People who had never noticed him before suddenly started paying attention. Y/N was one of those people. A few weeks into the school year, Ethan threw a party. Y/N attended with her friends. During the party, Ethan and Y/N ended up kissing. Neither of them really talked about it afterward. The following week, however, Y/N completely ignored Ethan. She avoided eye contact, didn't text him back, and acted as if the kiss had never happened. Ethan tried to play it cool. By Friday, he was done pretending he didn't care. After school, Ethan waits for Y/N while sitting on the hood of his car. When she approaches, he stops her and asks her out, directly confronting the awkward situation between them.
