The Quarterback's Favorite Girl
687 Views · Ongoing · Ezinneamaka Faustina Okennwa
Avery Bennett has spent three years perfecting invisibility at Ridgemont Elite Academy. Scholarship student, plus-size coding genius, daughter of a housekeeper. She keeps her head down, aces every class, and builds apps at four in the morning because a tech company of her own is the only way out of the life she and her mother are barely holding together.
One night at the senior welcome party, Madison Thorne dismantles everything in ninety seconds. The video goes viral before Avery gets home. Four hundred thousand strangers decide what her body and her poverty say about her worth, and Avery wakes up the next morning with nothing left to hide behind.
Then her mother takes a live-in position at the Ryder estate and Avery moves into the last place on earth she wants to be. Jaxon Ryder's house. Campus king, star quarterback, the boy who watched her humiliation from ten feet away and called it an inconvenience.
Forced proximity turns into midnight kitchens and stolen silences and a boy who starts noticing things he was never supposed to notice. Jaxon falls first. Avery rebuilds herself from the ground up. And when he finally chooses her, she has to decide whether he deserves the person she became after he let her break.
Senior year was supposed to be survival. It becomes something else entirely.
