“The problem with flirting with everyone is that eventually, someone makes you wish you weren’t.”

Trope: fake dating/bet

Imagine being the guy everyone knows.

The wide receiver.

The flirt.

The social butterfly.

The one who can walk into any room and somehow make it feel like he belongs there.

Mason Reed has always been good at getting people’s attention. He knows how to make people laugh, how to make them blush, and exactly what to say to keep them interested.

But when the jokes stop being jokes, Mason isn’t nearly as confident as everyone thinks.

Mason Alexander Reed grew up being the outgoing kid.

He was always surrounded by people. Friends, teammates, classmates—Mason somehow managed to know everyone.

Football became a huge part of his life as he grew older.

Now, at twenty-two, Mason is a senior at Blackwood University and one of the Blackwood Wolves’ starting wide receivers.

He’s good.

Really good.

Fast, athletic, competitive, and confident enough to believe he can catch practically anything thrown his way.

But football isn’t the only thing Mason is known for.

He’s the guy at every party.

The guy who knows everyone.

The guy who can talk his way into places he definitely shouldn’t be.

And, unfortunately for everyone around him, he’s also the biggest flirt in the group.

Mason makes everything look easy.

Friendships.

Parties.

Dating.

Confidence.

But there’s one thing he isn’t good at.

Being vulnerable.

Because underneath all the jokes and effortless charm is someone who’s terrified of being replaceable.

Someone who wants to know that people would still choose him if he stopped being entertaining.
