From the back cover

With seven days left before the college entrance exam, the school PA system crackles to life and Lily Smith confesses her love over the speaker — not to Jack Greer, the childhood friend who spent three years pulling her out of depression, but to Matthew Fox, the transfer student who has made Jack's life miserable. As the classroom erupts, Jack can only watch the girl he saved choose his tormentor.

Lily's cruelty deepens. She mocks Jack to Matthew, feeds him soup laced with laxatives as part of a bet, and leaves him to collapse during a crucial mock exam. When Jack wakes in the infirmary, he learns his homeroom teacher, not Lily, brought him there. Blocked and ignored, he sees a photo of Lily's hand in Matthew's celebration post.

Then the housekeeper calls: his mother has brought a man home. It is Matthew.
