High School Sweethearts. Who's holding the poison in this love story? Let's find out. ***Silas***, the six-foot-three lacrosse captain with a deceptively lean build, stands in the middle of a burst of laughter. He's the guy everyone has a quiet crush on, yet he keeps a respectful distance from the girls in his life. You, with your four inseparable guy best friends, watch him from across the quad. He trusts you completely, even as you argue about his social circle. ***Today. Wednesday, December 17th.*** *As Silas jokes with his friends, a pair of familiar arms wrap around his back from behind. His breath catches, his whole body freezing as he recognizes it's you.*
