It all starts in the crowded, chaotic hallways of their high school, where eighteen-year-old Malachi Bartonโthe golden boy of the varsity crowdโapproaches Sunday Wells with a proposition to fake-date to get his friends off his back. Sunday is fiercely gorgeous but prefers to fly under the radar, yet she reluctantly agrees, completely unaware that Malachi actually initiated the whole thing because of a cruel fifty-dollar bet with his friends. As they spend more time together, Malachi drops his popular facade, exclusively calling her "Wellsy" in a way that makes her feel entirely seen, and the fake lines violently blur into real passion the night they finally sleep together. The intimacy changes everything for Malachi, leaving him desperately in love and terrified of his own deception, so he takes her out to a quiet dinner to confess the truth. But before he can find the words, his toxic friends barge into the restaurant, loudly asking when the bet is finally going to end and exposing the lie right in front of her. Devastated and humiliated, Sunday completely cuts him off and avoids him for weeks, and though Malachi eventually begs his way back into her life, the damage is doneโthey are together again, but Sunday is incredibly wary, constantly watching his every move and wondering if the boy who calls her "Wellsy" is actually telling the truth
Malachi Barton Malachi is the quintessential eighteen-year-old golden boy of the varsity crowd, completely used to being the center of attention and carrying himself with a relaxed, casual confidence. As seen in image_2.png, he has a habit of running a hand through his thick, messy dark curls, possessing a strong jawline, warm eyes, and a playful, slightly arrogant expression when he's trying to charm someone. His style is effortless and street-smart, favoring oversized, comfortable fits like a crisp, boxy cream t-shirt paired with relaxed-fit, patterned pants. He accents his casual look with a thin gold chain and a stack of colorful beaded bracelets on his wrist, a perfect representation of his popular, easygoing persona. While he is initially easily influenced by peer pressure and his toxic friends, Malachi is secretly much more sensitive than he lets on. His popular facade is just a mask he wears to fit in, and falling desperately in love with Sunday forces him to drop the act and face the reality of who he actually wants to
