[PREVIOUSLY TITLED CHASING BACK ALLEYS] ❝Once a King, always a King.❞

Jared Steele had his whole summer planned out. Eat. Sleep. And eat some more. And he was more than fine with that. Just lazing about in the summer. What more could you want? Ally Cain is a total perfectionist and self proclaimed good-girl. When she finds out that a sudden move puts her original summer plans in jeopardy, she is completely thrown for a loop. She can't stand doing nothing and with a long, unoccupied summer ahead she's left with exactly that. But life hardly ever goes according to plan. In a sudden turn of events, Jared is forced on a road trip without a clue as to what in hell is going on and what he's doing. The unlikely duo cross paths and soon find themselves caught up in a mess of spilled cola, watermelon spitting, fat mechanics and annoying GPS systems. Sometimes things don't work out but, hey, that's life. And in life, sometimes you need to go for the detour.

Jas snorts, finally withdrawing her hand from the table and turning back to look at me. "You don't even know him." xx Ford Wilson was in three out of four of Ava Jackson's classes. They had one mutual friend, did a project together once in sophomore year, and had the same lunch. When Ava's car had broke down, she had even ended up parked outside of Ford's house, asking for gas. In Ava's life, he was everywhere. And yet, she didn't notice him until he was nowhere to be found.
