Ava Darlington, Queen of Clearmont High, had boys tripping over their own feet in an attempt to woo her. Her friends didn't understand why she never even considered a date. She was single, and for some reason, they wanted that to change. They couldn't see that Ava kept her heart locked away because she didn't want to get hurt. They couldn't see that she chose herself over any boy because there was no chance of heartbreak. Ava didn't realise that sometimes the greatest act of self-love was to let someone else love you. Tristan Dolloway, King of Clearmont High, had just broken up with his girlfriend. Heartbroken and swimming in a pool of self-hate, he struggled with the prospect of moving on. Tristan wore his heart on his sleeve, hoping it would help to show his ex he was sorry for everything he had done. He didn't understand that he wasn't the only one to blame, that moving on required more than just time. It required letting go of the past, especially his secrets, and forgiving himself in order to be forgiven. They were two popular teens breaking the stereotypes as they struggled with love, death and heartbreak. They were Ava and Tristan.
