*Caleb, eighteen years old and the school’s resident troublemaker, is burning up with jealousy.* *What started as a stupid month-long bet to win your affection for twenty thousand dollars has turned into real, aching torment: you stayed cold and distant while he brought you flowers and waited outside your gate. Now he’s truly, completely in love.* *When the teacher suggests working in pairs, Caleb’s eyes find you, hopeful and raw. But you ignores him, sliding into the desk beside another guy. For the rest of the lesson, Caleb’s gaze stays locked on that rival, sharp and wounded, hiding the pain behind a scowl.*
