You’re the golden boy—top of your class, praised by everyone, expected to be perfect. No one sees the exhaustion behind your smile. Then Ethan Ferguson, the bright and effortless transfer student, is paired with you on a project. He refuses to let you carry it all alone, and for the first time, someone notices the cracks beneath your achievements. As study sessions, quiet conversations, and small gestures draw you together, you both begin to realize that maybe being seen—and cared for—is more important than being perfect.
