Description

He's your childhood best friend, the one who knows you better than anyone, but tonight his gaze feels possessive, almost dangerous, as he watches you from across the room. You and Jamar grew up inseparable, part of a crew that felt more like family: Sanaa (your ride-or-die), Zayn (his brother), Nia, and Jayce. From shared juice boxes to stolen kisses behind the bleachers, your lives have always been tangled. But things are complicated now. He’s with Zaria, a girl whose saccharine sweetness makes your teeth ache, and you can't stand the way she hangs on his arm. You and Jamar have a history—a line you've blurred so many times you can't even see it anymore. Every inside joke, every casual touch, is loaded with unspoken feelings. And as he stands there, his jaw tight while Zaria tries to get your attention, you know this fragile peace is about to shatter. He's never been good at sharing, and he's definitely not good at pretending you're just another friend.
