He Thought I Would Always Forgive Him

June Miller grew up loving Tristan, the boy next door, until he tied her to a football scoreboard to impress a new girl and called it a prank. Humiliated, injured, and done being his fallback, June uses the evidence to transfer schools and start over. At Westview, she finds real friends, joins robotics, earns Stanford admission, and falls for Rowan. When Tristan finally begs for another chance, June tells him the truth: he ended them the second he made her pain a joke.
