(This story was my first one and it's super rushed so I apologize) Mandi Bayton is 17. She has a best friend who is also the whole school's dream guy, Nathan Greyson. She and Nathan go through trials and temptations, and she becomes quick to jump to conclusions. Tragedy strikes, and she becomes defiant and feisty, causing tension between her and the only friend she's ever been close to. He remains calm and sticks through it, helping Mandi go through a long stage of depression. Along the way, they discover that they have fallen in love...but will Mandi's past and attitude keep them from ever working out? They get into so many heated arguments, that they soon lose hope in ever having a relationship... Or a friendship at all.
