The Truce

Michaela and Sebastian used to be inseparable. Best friends from the time they were born, they celebrated holidays together, took family vacations together, and even shared the same eighties fantasy movie obsession. After a hurtful incident shatters their friendship in the third grade, their paths diverge and they successfully cut each other out of their lives....until senior year, when Michaela begrudgingly tutors Sebastian to salvage his place on the football team. Gradually, tentative civility gives way to newfound empathy and respect, and they're able to form a fragile connection.
After another devastating betrayal and public humiliation, Sebastian becomes Michaela's ally...and maybe more, though she's positive she'll never learn to trust again.
