The story begins on Jen's first day at Dulany High School, where she meets the flirtatious Alex Gaskarth in homeroom and they quickly become friends as he takes her under his wing. He also introduces her to his bandmates Jack, Rian and Zack as well as their friends Matt and Grieco. This story follows their sophmore year and how friendships can grow into something much more, and that love isn't always a neon arrow pointing you in the right direction.
