Synopsis
I was always her backup plan—until she asked me to take the fall for a mistake that wasn’t mine. When Lila, my childhood friend and the girl I secretly loved, showed up sobbing and pregnant, I was supposed to save her like always. But this time, I’m done being the background character in my own story. In a high school ruled by secrets and SAT scores, reputations are everything and rumors spread faster than wildfire. When Lila’s new boyfriend pushes me too far, old loyalties snap and I’m left with nothing but the truth: I can’t keep fixing what’s broken, not when I’m the one left shattered. But as Lila’s world unravels and she begs me to step up, I’m forced to decide—will I finally fight for myself, or let her drag me down one last time? What happens when the backup refuses to play along?
