A school rumor throws a guarded senior and Westbury High's most misunderstood boy into the spotlight, but under the noise, fake attention turns into the one thing neither of them planned: something real.
One hallway photo. One school-wide rumor. One week that changes everything.
Tori has spent years becoming the girl teachers trust and student committees depend on. Levi is the boy Westbury thinks it already understands. When a late-night fundraiser fix and one badly timed photo turn them into the story everyone wants to watch, both of them are pushed into the kind of spotlight neither one asked for.
But the louder the rumor gets, the more the truth begins to matter. Beneath the pressure of senior year, school politics, public whispers, and unexpected moments of closeness, Tori and Levi begin to see each other more clearly than anyone else ever has.
What starts as a rumor becomes something harder to explain and even harder to ignore. At the center of all the noise is a connection neither of them was ready for — and both of them may be afraid to lose.
