21 parts Complete Daniel McPherson never planned on standing out. A quiet genius with a past in karate tournaments, he just wanted to survive senior year in a new city after his parents' divorce. But New York has other plans-new rivals, unexpected friends, and one golden boy who won't stop colliding with him.
Blake Morrison is the school's football captain, the kind of guy everyone wants and no one says no to. Arrogant, magnetic, untouchable. Until one night changes everything. A stolen kiss. A fire neither of them can put out.
Now Daniel is caught between jealous cliques, fake smiles, and the girl who claims his attention... while Blake tries to bury the truth in anger and denial. But the tension between them lingers-in stares that last too long, in brushes of skin that feel electric, in silences that say everything words can't.
High school drama, forbidden sparks, and the chaos of first love-Hot Nerd is a slow-burn boys love romance where genius meets golden boy, and the lines between rivalry and desire blur into something neither can ignore.
