Our Little Secret Synopsis:
Becca Daniels needs a passing math grade…but what she wants is to spend more time with Toby Michaels.
The only problem is Toby is her best friend’s twin, and Tori has a very firm “no dating the brother” policy.
But Becca’s grade has hit rock bottom and she needs a tutor. It just so happens that Toby is a math genius and more than happy to help—lucky her! Working so closely with the handsome, popular Toby, Becca can’t hide her attraction, and it soon becomes obvious he feels the same way.
Becca doesn’t want to lose her best friend, but she isn’t willing to give up Toby either.
At first, sneaking around is fun, stealing kisses right under Tori’s nose. But things take an ugly turn when Toby’s ex-girlfriend Meredith catches them together. Meredith demands Toby take her back and restore her reputation, or she’ll tell Tori their secret. Do they dare tell Tori the truth? Or would that just make things worse?
Surrounded by secrets and knee-deep in deception, something has to give…
How far is Meredith willing to go to keep Toby and Becca apart?
And how much is Becca willing to risk to keep…
Our Little Secret?
The
hallway is even more crowded today, thanks to the new basketball trophy in the
display case. All the players keep huddling around it, and all their adoring
fans huddle around them. I’ve never seen girls swoon like this, and
unfortunately they’re blocking my view of Toby. I can just barely see his face
around the mass of limbs reaching forward to touch him.
“You’re
coming over after school, right?” Tori asks, coming up behind me.
“What?”
I jump and turn away from Toby, practically smacking my head on my open locker
door.
“What’s
gotten into you?” Tori asks.
“Nothing.
I was just trying to remember what I need for next period.”
“Try
books, like always.” She eyes me and shakes her head. “Seriously, it’s like you
were in another world. You had that same stupid look Meredith always gets when
my brother walks by. It’s nauseating.”
I
force a laugh. “Meredith really likes Toby, doesn’t she?” The thought makes my
stomach churn.
“Likes?
The girl’s obsessed.” She turns and rolls her eyes at the crowd around Toby.
“Look at her. If she rubs up against him anymore...well, let’s just say the
girl has a future in porn.”
“Tori!
That’s a little harsh.” Although Meredith really does need to learn about
personal space. “How can Toby stand her touching him like that?”
“Because
she’s head cheerleader.”
I
didn’t mean to say that out loud. I have to filter my thoughts better,
especially around Tori. “Right. So, do you think he’s into her?”
“Not
really. He’s into basketball and his schoolwork. Who would’ve thought my brainiac
brother would be so popular? Sure as hell not me.”
“That’s
because you’re his sister. It would be totally disgusting if you saw him the
way other girls do.”
She
shrugs. “I guess so, but you don’t get it either, do you? I mean, we grew up
together. You’re practically related to us.”
Related?
Not even close. Or all these thoughts I’m having about Toby would be really
uncalled for.
