Sally has had a crush on her best friend Justin for as long as she can remember. The shy, nerdy girl with baggy clothes and glasses, she’s spent years helping him with projects and assignments, hoping he’d notice her… but he never has. Until the day she finally works up the courage to confess, only to be met with something utterly shocking. Enter Cole…Justin’s stepbrother. Tall, confident, impossibly hot, and the kind of guy whose life revolves around late-night frat parties and reckless fun. He’s everything Sally is not and everything she didn’t know she needed. Cole offers to help her win Justin’s heart… but nothing comes for free. In exchange, she has to step out of her comfort zone, navigate his world, and follow his lead. As Cole pulls her out of her shell, showing her confidence, daring, and a side of herself she’s never dared to explore, Sally begins to wonder if the butterflies she’s chasing with Justin were ever real. The more time she spends with Cole, the more she realizes that maybe the heart doesn’t lie, and the boy she’s been chasing all these years isn’t the one she should have been after at all. And the secrets he hides? They could destroy everything she thought she wanted.

What Butterflies Don’t Tell You. The haymans.
Cole’s POV. I sat up quietly on the edge of the bed. My eyelids felt heavy. I was in my room. I must have been very tired yesterday; I can’t remember falling asleep. “Cole” Shit, I forgot. Stella came over last night. As usual. “Stella.” I replied without looking back. She leaned forward and hugged me from behind. Her bare chest brushed against my skin while her hand roamed my chest. I could feel her hot breath against my skin. She was meant to have been gone by now. That was how we always did it. "So," she started, “I have been thinking..." Oh no. There she goes again. Anytime she starts a sentence this way, it’s always something. “When are you going to make us official?” My eyes shot up. Huh. I turned around this time. "Us?" “Yeah, I mean this has been going on for quite a while. I thought we had something." I stood up quickly. Scavenging for my boxers. My duvet was wrapped around her body while she leant on one elbow, a smirk on her face.

Sally’s POV. I spun around. Cole's arms were folded across his chest. “Ah! I see you've found it." He took a step forward and ripped the paper from Justin's fingers. “I could have sworn I dropped this somewhere?” Justin arched a brow. His jaw tightening, "So, why does it have my name over it?” Cole shook his head and placed an arm on Justine's shoulder. "Oh, stepbrother, I know so many Justins." He flickered his mouth at the paper. “This isn't yours." Justin’s eyes rolled. “Whatever, man. Why are you here?" The edge in Justin's voice made me flinch. "Relax," Cole said, taking a step back. “I am only here to hand Sally her glasses." My eyes widened. My glasses? Realization slipped in. Yeah, I wasn't with my glasses. I must have been so preoccupied with Justin's game I didn't think of them. Christ. I slammed my hand over my mouth. “Oh yes, thank you so much, Cole." I flashed a fake smile. Justine's eyes never left Cole's. Cole tilted his head, a lazy smile

I brightened automatically. Cole’s jaw tightened for half a second, but he looked away before I could be sure. Justin’s voice made my chest tighten. I tried to sound normal, but my hands itched to fidget with my bag strap.” “Hey,” I answered. “Why weren’t you in class?” Justin asked. “I just… wasn’t feeling it.” “You okay?” “Yeah.” “Emmm. You still coming for the practice, right?” Fuck. My stomach sank. I’d completely blanked on the tournament. Justin was counting on me today, and I was about to let him down. I tightened my grip on my bag, trying not to look panicked. I can’t let him know I completely forgot about that… that would be catastrophic. “Yes, sure.” I could practically hear him exhaling on the other end. Relief, but also… a little hope? God, I hated how much I cared what he thought. His voice came through from the other end. “Wow, I almost thought you weren’t coming. Didn’t want to do this alone.” “I wouldn’t want to miss it." “See you there," he said. The l

I bet my stars it was Matilda.My phone dinged in my backpack.It was a message from Micheal.‘You okay?’I didn’t answer.I straightened and stared at my reflection in the mirror.Did I really dress shabbily? I knew I didn’t pay much attention to how I dressed, but that’s how I learned.‘Cover up, don’t let your bum show.'I was a fast developer thanks to Mom's genes. The type that already had full blown boobs by middle school and I hid them under baggy shirts and sweaters.Could that be why Justin saw me as his nerdy friend after all these years? I had painstakingly watched Justin date three girls over the years, and they were nothing like me.I didn’t want to be the nerdy friend anymore. I wanted to be a girl, the type of girl Justin wanted.I exhaled shakily.And I knew o

Immediately I slipped into the car beside Michael. He shot me a look. “What?” "Were you and Cole Hayman making out? You got two brothers in one night? Damn. "Teach me your ways, Sally." He started the engine. “Ewww no! We weren’t making out; in fact, nothing went as planned today.” He honke

Sally’s POV. Cole hovered over me; he was wearing a leather jacket with baggy jeans and a trucker hat. His dark brown hair fell across his face, a slight smirk on his lips. “Don’t you watch where you are…” He paused. “Oh, it's you." My brows furrowed. It's me? What is that even supposed to
