Ariella Hendrix had one rule for surviving senior year: stay focused and stay invisible. As the soon-to-be valedictorian - and daughter of the principal - she had no time for parties, drama, or cocky basketball players with too much swagger and not enough GPA. LaMelo Ball had one goal: the NBA. School? Not on his radar. Homework? Never heard of her. But when failing grades put his season - and his draft dreams - on the line, the last person he expected to be stuck with was quiet, perfect Ariella Hendrix. She's been in love with him for years. He's just noticing her now. Between late-night study sessions, loud team parties, and her twin brother breathing down their necks, the line between helping him pass and catching feelings gets thinner by the day. And the closer they get, the harder it is to hide it from the one man who can ruin it all - her dad. In senior year, everyone's chasing something. For them, it might just be each other.Complete
