Anthony Vaughn is Hartley High's down-to-earth jokester. With his charming, goofy smile, he doesn't struggle to get the ladies. He does it with ease. But when Y/n starts at Hartley, he becomes quietly obsessed. Stealing glances, sitting next during SLTs, and finds himself following her around the school like a lost puppy. When he goes to crack a joke with her for the first time, he fucks up and for some reason can't stop himself from embarrassing himself. His friends don't stop teasing him about it. And news travels fast at Hartley High.
Everyone knows Cole Atlan is the biggest flirt at Oakdale High School β handsome, popular, and never serious about any girl for longer than a week. Heβs the guy, girls warn their friends about and somehow still fall for him anyway. Every girl wants him, and every boy wants to be him. Cole lives for the attention. No strings attached, no expectations, no risk of getting hurt. By senior year, there werenβt many girls in his grade he hadnβt been with. Then you transfer β and are immediately pushed to the top of the food chain when you become captain of the cheerleading team. You knew who he was before you even set foot in that school. You knew about the flirting. You knew about the reputation. So when he decides itβs finally his turn to make a move, he fails. Miserably.
