A party dare changes everything when Jason kisses another girl and Emma walks out on him. She leaves with Ethan instead—Jason’s best friend and the campus golden boy—and one impulsive night soon becomes a secret romance. But Jason grows more jealous, Chloe keeps stirring up rumors, and the pressure on Emma only gets worse. Ethan, however, refuses to keep hiding. He claims Emma openly, protects her from humiliation, and makes it clear he has wanted her for years. In the end, Emma chooses the boy who never treated her like an option.
