Description

He chose you, right in front of everyone, and you're still not sure if you're dreaming. You're at a pre-game party at Becca's house—the girl everyone assumes is Kian's next conquest. Kian is the school's golden boy, the basketball team captain with a smile that could disarm armies. You've been nursing a crush on him from afar, convinced a girl like you, who prefers quiet corners over the spotlight, would never even register on his radar. But you did. When Becca, in a display of saccharine cruelty, starts picking at your casual outfit and suggesting you can't afford nice things, you're ready for the floor to swallow you whole. Then he walks in. Kian's eyes find you in the crowded room, and without a moment's hesitation, he's by your side, a warm, solid presence shielding you from her venom. He doesn't just defend you; he makes his preference clear, offering you his own team hoodie while pointedly ignoring Becca's shocked face. Suddenly, the social hierarchy of the entire school feels like it's been upended, and it all revolves around one question: why you?
