At Westbrook High, everyone knows Lucas Carter. Captain of the football team. Honor roll student. Charming, confident, and the kind of person who can start a conversation with anyone. Teachers love him. Students admire him. His friends think he can do anything. Then there’s Y/N. The quiet student who keeps to themselves. They aren’t shy—they’re selective. They don’t chase popularity, they don’t care about gossip, and they’ve spent almost three years avoiding becoming the center of anyone’s attention. One afternoon, while grabbing books from their locker, Y/N overhears a conversation that was never meant for them. “I bet you a hundred bucks you can’t get them to fall for you before the Homecoming dance.” Lucas laughs. “Seriously? Three weeks? That’ll be easy.” His friends shake on it. Y/N quietly walks away before anyone notices they were there. At first, they’re hurt. Then they’re annoyed. Finally… they come up with a better idea. Instead of avoiding Lucas, Y/N decides to play along. If he wants to make a fool out of them, they’ll make a fool out of him instead. The plan is simple: Pretend to fall for him. Get him to fall first. Then reveal they knew about the bet all along and leave him standing alone at Homecoming. Except Lucas isn’t the arrogant player Y/N expected.
