Chapter 1

Feb 11, 2025

There was a time when Jason Carter looked at me like I was the only girl in the world. Back then, people used to say we were “relationship goals”—the perfect high school couple. But now, as I sit across from him at our usual lunch table, watching him scroll through his phone like I don’t even exist, I wonder if we were ever real to begin with.

“Jason,” I say his name softly, forcing a smile. “Did you remember what today is?”

He barely looks up, his fingers tapping away at his screen. “Uh… Friday?”

I exhale, my chest tightening. “It’s our anniversary. Two years.”

That gets his attention—barely. He finally glances at me, his brows furrowing like the thought of celebrating two years with me is an inconvenience. “Oh. Right. Happy anniversary, I guess.”

I wait for him to say something else. Anything. But he just goes back to his phone.

“You forgot, didn’t you?” My voice is quiet, but I know he hears the hurt in it.

Jason sighs, setting his phone down. “Layla, it’s just a date. Do we really have to make a big deal out of it?”

I swallow the lump in my throat. “We used to.”

His eyes dart away, like he doesn’t want to have this conversation. Like he doesn’t want to deal with me. I hate the way it feels. I hate the way I feel—so small, so insignificant.

Before I can say anything else, a familiar, honey-sweet voice interrupts.

“Aww, Jason. Did you forgot your anniversary? That’s so sad. But honestly… not surprising.”

I stiffen. I don’t have to look up to know who it is.

Savannah Hale. My stepsister. The girl who has everything I don’t.

She’s leaning against the table, her perfect manicured nails tapping against the surface. She looks effortlessly stunning, as always—long blonde hair in loose waves, bright blue eyes sparkling with amusement.

She tilts her head at me, a smirk playing on her lips. “Not to be mean, Layla, but… maybe if you were a little more exciting, Jason wouldn’t forget you exist.”

Jason snorts like it’s actually funny.

Heat rushes to my face, and my fingers curling into fists under the table.

Savannah has always known exactly how to make me feel worthless, and the worst part? She doesn’t even have to try.

I grab my bag and push back my chair. “I need some air.”

Jason barely reacts. Savannah just smiles, satisfied.

I walk away before they can see the tears in my eyes.

The school’s Valentine’s Day Festival is in full swing outside, but I barely notice the couples walking hand in hand, the heart-shaped balloons, the booths filled with overpriced chocolates and stuffed animals.

I stop in front of an old claw machine near the gym, staring blankly at the cheap prizes inside. Anything is better than thinking about Jason and Savannah.

Sighing, I fish a dollar out of my pocket and slide it into the machine.

The claw jerks forward. I don’t even try to aim—I just press the button and let fate decide.

It clamps down on something small and red.

When it drops into the prize slot, I reach inside and pull out… a heart-shaped flip phone.

I frown. A phone? In a claw machine? That’s weird.

I flip it open. The screen lights up instantly, even though I haven’t pressed anything.

“Your Love Score: 0”

What the hell?

A second later, a message pops up.

Unknown Number: You deserve better than this.

I nearly drop the phone.

I glance around, half-expecting someone to be watching me, but no one is paying attention. My heart pounds as another message appears.

Unknown Number: He’s lying to you. Want proof?

Never Just Friends

I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship

I've always been "the quiet, nerdy girl." The girl with her nose buried in a book, the girl people barely notice. But my world is a lot more complicated than it seems. You see, I'm absolutely, hopelessly in love with my best friend, Logan Reyes-the bad boy everyone wants but nobody can quite hold onto. And he has no idea. Logan and I have been friends forever. We banter, we laugh, and we're close. But to him, I'm just Emma, the girl he'll confide in about everything-except his new flings, like Vanessa, the school's reigning queen bee. She's got her sights on Logan and everyone knows it. Meanwhile, Logan and I share this strange, unspoken chemistry that I can't ignore, even if we act like it's no big deal. But everything changes the night I get roped into a game of spin the bottle at Vanessa's party. When the bottle lands on Logan, he kisses me in front of everyone-and suddenly, it's like I'm seeing Logan in a whole new light, and he's seeing me differently, too. Now he's paying me attention in a way that's unsettling, thrilling, and absolutely forbidden. And just when I think I can ignore it, Logan begins pursuing me-unabashedly, against all the rules he's lived by and despite his so-called girlfriend's wishes. Now, I'm caught in a whirlwind of gossip, jealousy, and emotions I can barely handle. Logan's breaking his own rules for me, and the harder I try to resist him, the more I find myself pulled back. But when we're toeing the line between friendship and something much more dangerous, my heart-and his-are on the line.
