Leon Kennedy has it all figured out—or so he thinks. Hockey star, criminal justice major, part of the popular crowd at Raccoon University. He's come a long way from the awkward, invisible kid he used to be in high school. These days, people actually know his name. Girls actually notice him. He's everything he never thought he'd be.

But there's one thing that hasn't changed: Nicole Bell still won't give him the time of day. Well, she does—just enough to keep him hoping, waiting, convinced that maybe if he just tries a little harder, she'll finally see him the way he sees her. He doesn't realise he's being played. Doesn't see the manipulation for what it is. All he sees is the girl he's been half in love with since freshman year, and his best friend Luis getting closer to her every day.

Then there's her. They've hated each other since orientation—a rivalry that's lasted over a year of petty arguments, stolen library seats, and verbal warfare that their friends find endlessly entertaining.

But at a party one Friday night, Leon notices something: she's watching Luis the same way he watches Nicole.

And Leon gets an idea. A completely insane, probably-going-to-blow-up-in-his-face idea.

Fake date each other. Make it public. Make it convincing. Make Nicole and Luis jealous enough to finally pay attention.

It's a perfect plan. Strategic. Mutually beneficial. They can both get what they want, and all they have to do is pretend to tolerate each other in public while hating each other in private.

Simple, right?
