"Admit it" Vinny said getting a smirk out of me. "Admit that you are in love with Mikey Fusco." Vinny said laughing, chasing me around the park. "Not Ever." I laughed looking back at Vinny. "I have never been, and never will be." Vinny stopped chasing me and took a breath. "You are a liar." He said nonchalantly, how could I admit I liked Mikey Fusco, because I didn't like anything in my life anymore. I was now living with my sister and her jerk boyfriend in New Jersey where I didn't know anybody, I liked the biggest asshole in town, and I was having the time of my life. great.

Parties, drinking, and friends. Thats my life. I'm 16 but I don't give a damn what anyone thinks. The only person I care about what they think of me is my best friend. But he doesnt approve of my partying and drinking..but of course...I'm in love with him...

| SAMPLE ONLY; READ IT NOW ON GALATEA | ❝He's the boy she left behind. She's the girl he let go.❞ ➵ Before she became one of music's biggest up-and-coming artists, Evelyn "Evie" Chase was a nobody at the bottom of the Roosevelt High School food chain with only a handful of friends. Her best friend (and longtime crush)--popular jock, Adam Fields--was her polar opposite, but despite their differences, their bond was as strong as they come. That is, until one day-- one mistake--changed the course of their friendship forever, and the once inseparable duo never spoke again. Fast forward three years, and everything's changed. Evie has the world at her feet, now out in L.A. living her dream as a seventeen-year-old popstar-- leaving the town, the boy who broke her heart, and those who'd made high school unbearable behind. Meanwhile, Adam--at Roosevelt finishing off senior year and still the school (and town's) beloved "golden boy"--is trying his hardest to let go of the past and the girl he let get away. And it's going well, the two of them living their separate lives. Until Evie's back. Suddenly, seventeen and senior year just got a lot more interesting.
