Average Renee Jones; Average is just a girl that wants to make it through her senior year with no drama. But the summer before she can even make it into the school year things get a lot more interesting and it not just because of the bad news the doctor gave her. Kenneth Alonso Scott is a 19 year old 'business man' who never thought he could put anything, but money and his family first in his life. That is until he met Average.

The summer before going into one of the most important phases in her life, that being college, was just the absolute wrong time to fall in love for Atiyya. She had so much ahead of herself, so many options. I mean, Kaleb wasn't the only boy in the world. But they had known each other since birth almost and they had this connection that he and her both knew they weren't going to get from anywhere else. Kaleb had too much on his plate. Coming from a dead beat mother and an alcoholic father, he was trying to be better than the both of them could ever be and he didn't need distractions. He only wanted Atiyya's friendship, nothing more, nothing less. But as time progressed and the two rekindled their friendship after Kaleb's long hiatus, they began to realize that just maybe they wanted more. ----- I'm not gonna give some long synopsis of this book like I originally planned to.
