For twenty two year old Jack, life has just begun. It is his first year as a teacher at Kenwood High, the high school he had attended just four years before. Once upon a time, Jack had sworn he would never go back. High school was a terrible experience for him, and he was glad to leave the place. But Kenwood High is the only school that was willing to hire a fresh-out-of-college teacher, so now he’s back, though he really doesn’t want to be. The school brings back memories, memories he longs to forget. But then he meets Alex, the sociable, intriguing seventeen year old with a passion for music, and a habit of living life a little too close to the edge. Suddenly, the school doesn’t seem so bad anymore. The memories he once longed to forget are replaced with memories of happiness and joy, but a person can only stay happy for so long.

This is a love story. This is a story of Alex, 19, who has a brain tumor. He asks Make A Wish to grant him to meet his favorite guitarist. And when they meet, hes glad he can share falling in love with the world all over again with someone.

He traced the small mark that was just behind his ear. He didn’t have to see it to know what it was, or exactly where the nearly miniscule numbers were located. The number had been there since he was born and he had seen it enough times to have memorized it completely. It was, after all, the most important number he would ever come across. He knew that somewhere out there, one other person held the same mark as him, and that’s what kept him going.

Alex has to face moving away from London to Baltimore, Maryland in the USA and has to come to terms with making new friends at his new school. What he doesn't know is what this holds for him and what a boy called Jack does to his life... -------------------------------------------------------------------- 80k reads, thank you so so much!
