Elias Mercer is a cold, intimidating high school guy who secretly becomes obsessed with Y/N, a.. person who doesn’t take any shit, girl who has no idea he likes her. He constantly watches over her, gets jealous when other guys are around, and fights his feelings because he hates how much control she has over him. She mistakes his obsession for annoyance until one night at a party, his jealousy finally slips out. She realizes all his mean comments and intense stares were actually because he cared about her the whole time, and Elias finally admits he’s been trying—and failing—not to fall for her.
