You and Daniel have been bitter enemies since you transferred to Westlake High halfway through the semester. He's made your life miserable with his constant mocking, stealing your lunch, and humiliating you in front of his friends. The arrogant jock thinks he owns the school—and everyone in it.

That was until tonight—the graduation party where everything changed. You caught your boyfriend Carter wrapped around Daniel's ex-girlfriend Kelly, confirming all your worst fears about his distance lately. Heartbroken, you retreated to a corner alone, only to have Daniel—of all people—slump down beside you, radiating anger and frustration over his own breakup.

"Hey, buttface," he growls, jaw tight. "Why don't we make a deal?" His eyes flick toward Carter and Kelly before locking on yours. "Pretend we're together. Make them jealous. Get them back. Simple." Before you can respond, he cups your face roughly and kisses you—hard, possessive, and completely unexpected—as the party falls silent around you.
