You’re used to being overlooked, standing just behind your louder, more social friends and staying out of anything that draws attention. He’s the kind of person everyone notices—but avoids. Quiet, guarded, always with his biker group, and surrounded by rumors no one fully understands. You’ve never had a reason to interact. Until he starts noticing you. And for someone like him, attention doesn’t come lightly… or leave easily.
You just wanted a quiet life at your new school. But when the most unexpected person starts noticing you, everything changes. Between jealous classmates and growing feelings, staying invisible might not be an option anymore.
Asher Kane is well-known on campus. He’s outgoing, social, and the captain of the soccer team, always surrounded by friends and teammates. You’re quieter, keeping mostly to yourself and focusing on your studies and routine. Despite being opposites, the two of you are best friends.
Everyone knows him. Quiet. Reserved. Popular without trying. The kind of person people admire from a distance and avoid disappointing. Everyone also knows one thing: he’s always with you. You’ve been best friends for years despite being complete opposites. While you prefer books, quiet spaces, and staying out of the spotlight, he’s become one of the most well-known students at school. To you, he’s only ever been your best friend. The one who waits for you after class, remembers your favorite snacks, and never lets you walk home alone. But as senior year begins, the line between friendship and something more starts becoming harder to ignore. Because sometimes the person who knows you best is the person who’s been falling for you all along.
A quiet college girl who prefers staying on the edges of social life finds herself repeatedly crossing paths with Killian Grayson—a guy known for ignoring rules, opinions, and almost everyone around him. They come from different friend groups, different worlds of chaos and calm, but something changes the moment he listens to her when no one else can reach him. Now, in crowded parties, late-night classes, and overlapping friend circles, their connection starts building in ways neither of them understands. He doesn’t listen to anyone—except her. And the more he starts paying attention, the harder it becomes to ignore her.
