        Becca's life takes a thrilling turn when she pretends to date Brett Wells, the most popular boy in school. 
          
        Becca Hart is determined to coast her way through her senior year at Eastwood High School. Counting down the days until graduation had become her crutch.
          
        Her plans come to a screeching halt one afternoon when she ends up sharing a spontaneous kiss with Brett Wells, who's known for being captain of the football team and an all-around good guy. 
        
        Their "love" spreads like fire and their fake relationship begins. But the two quickly learn that just because it started off fake, doesn't mean it won't become very real.
