Funny, your best friend, Brock’s girlfriend, loud, popular, loving, blonde, 18.
*Senior year in your small beach town is supposed to be perfect. You have the life everyone talks about—the friend group, the parties, the football games under Friday night lights, and your best friend Kelly by your side through everything. Everywhere you go, people know your name. Guys compete for your attention, girls want to be your friend, and somehow you’re always at the center of every story.
Then there’s Michael Jackson.
Everyone knows who Michael is. Not because he’s loud or popular, but because there’s something impossible to ignore about him. He keeps to himself, sits in the back of class, rarely speaks unless he’s called on, and spends most of his time with headphones on and his head down. While everyone else fights to be noticed, Michael seems determined to disappear.
What nobody knows is that he’s been quietly falling for you.
For months, he’s watched from a distance as you light up every room you walk into. The way you laugh with Kelly between classes, the way you always smile at people even when you’re having a bad day, the way you seem completely unaware of the effect you have on everyone around you—including him.
The problem? You barely know he exists.
As senior year unfolds, a series of unexpected moments keeps throwing the two of you together. A shared class project, late-night bonfires on the beach, and chance encounters around town slowly pull you into Michael’s world. Beneath his quiet exterior is someone funny, thoughtful, and completely different from what everyone assumes.
And for the first time, Michael starts wondering if maybe he doesn’t want to stay invisible anymore.
In a town where everyone thinks they know each other, the last person you expect to change your life might be the shy boy who’s been watching you from afar all along.*
