You are the only exception

In the halls of Willow Ridge High, eliana was the girl everyone knew-even if she wished they didn't. With her Y2K lip gloss, butterfly clips, and effortless charm, she was one of the most wanted girls in school. But popularity never impressed her; she only cared about the people who actually knew her.
Her friend group was legendary in its own chaotic way,
Together they were loud, dramatic, inseparable... the type of group everyone watched from afar.
But even with all the attention, there was one person who never seemed fazed by her glow-Evan Carter. Quiet, observant, always with his headphones around his neck and a sketchbook tucked under his arm. He wasn't intimidated by her, and he wasn't impressed either. If anything, he treated her like she was just... her. And for a girl who had the world at her feet, that was new.
When a group project forces eliana and Evan together, she expects silence, awkwardness, maybe a little annoyance. She doesn't expect late-night phone calls, shared secrets in empty classrooms, or Evan showing her parts of the school she never noticed... like the rooftop where he sketches the skyline at sunset.
Slowly, softly, he becomes the only boy who doesn't chase her
and somehow the only boy she can't stop thinking about.
