Description
Angela Chen is the girl everyone wants to be: cheer captain, flawlessly popular, always smiling. But behind the glitter and gossip lies a truth no one knows - when she's not leading pep rallies or posing for Instagram, she's grinding levels online under the alias EternalSky, a top-tier gamer with a not-so-secret obsession for RPGs and late-night raids. After a rough day at school, she logs in to blow off steam and meets a mysterious player named NightOwL. Smart, quiet, and surprisingly funny, he becomes her safe space - someone she can talk to without judgment. The only catch? She doesn't know who he is. Not his name. Not his face. Just that when she's talking to him, she can finally breathe. What she doesn't know is that NightOwL is none other than Derrick Owen - the quiet, nerdy genius who skipped a grade and just so happens to sit in the back of her class. When Derrick connects the dots and realizes the cheer queen mocking gamers by day is the girl he's falling for online by night, everything changes. Secrets will be tested. Feelings will blur. And when avatars fall away, can love still survive in the real world? Double life. Double trouble. One unexpected connection. Sometimes, the ultimate cheat code... is love.
