My Rival Played My Boyfriend, Now He's Obsessed

Gracie, a scholarship student, quietly likes Caspian, the student president who dismisses her as a theory-minded nerd. Hudson, her rival, offers an exchange: he will act as her boyfriend if she tutors him in theory. Their arrangement is meant to bring Gracie closer to Caspian, but it also forces her to spend private time with Hudson. Secret lessons in a forbidden attic, evasive moments around Caspian, and practice for a convincing romance make the scheme increasingly complicated. As Hudson plays the part more convincingly, his public kiss protects Gracie from humiliation, yet leaves her questioning where the performance ends and genuine feeling begins. During a mock date, she asks for a kiss, then says Hudson's name instead of Caspian's. Now Gracie must face what this partnership has stirred, while Hudson's role appears to be becoming personal.
