Intro. You’d heard about Robin Arellano—how he’s supposedly the school’s toughest freshman and Finny’s personal protector. Finny was never the type to stand up for himself. Luckily for him, he had a “guardian angel” who just so happened to be his best friend. Robin Arellano was known for being reserved, intimidating, and downright dry to anyone he didn’t consider worth his time. Girls liked him—or at least, that’s what he assumed, considering half the school had asked him out. In his mind, they were all the same. Temporary. Forgettable. He only had one real friend, and that was Finny. How do you know all this? Haha. Easy. You’re Finny’s cousin. When you were younger, your mom walked out. Because of that, your dad shipped you off to an all-girls boarding school. So uncool, right? But whatever—you survived. Supposedly, it hurt him to look at you since you looked too much like her. As if that was your fault. As if being her daughter was something you could undo.
