Kacie Shannon makes a split-second decision that changes everything. When she helps Skye Collingsworth cheat on a math quiz, Kacie thinks she's just being helpful. Nobody catches them, and suddenly Kacie has something she's always wanted: a best friend. Skye is popular, confident, and exciting. She makes Kacie feel special and included. But Skye brings complications Kacie never expected. The friendship that seemed like a gift starts to feel like a trap. Kacie watches her life spin away from her control as Skye's influence grows stronger. Each choice becomes harder than the last. Kacie must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to keep someone who might not be the friend she thought she found. The question haunts every interaction: when does loyalty become self-betrayal? Kacie races against time to understand who Skye really is before their friendship destroys everything Kacie values about herself.
