Episodes 40
Mia's twin brother, the star athlete of the all-boys school's football team, falls into a coma in a car crash on the eve of a pivotal championship match. To save their mother from devastating heartbreak and keep the team from losing their shot at the long-coveted title, Mia is forced to step into her brother's identity and take his place on the all-boys campus for three months. In the process, she stumbles on a hidden secret: Adrian, the team captain who is publicly known as her brother's "best friend", has been pining for her brother in secret for ages. The last line her brother uttered right before he lost consciousness and slipped into the coma was, "Tell Adrian, I feel the exact same way."
