Nu o să mă trezesc într-o dimineață și o să urlu că viața e frumoasă. Nu o să mă bucur niciodată cu ce am, când pot să vreau mai mult. Viața nu e frumoasă; nu când nouă ne-au murit toți eroii și-a rămas doar fumul. Așa că voi trece prin liceu vopsindu-mi cerul negru în fiecare dimineață, născându-mă din nou, în fiecare dimineață. Ăștia suntem. Puțim a prospețime pentru că așa, negri, sălbatici, cum ne văd toți suntem cele mai proaspete ființe din tot universul.

"Hey, Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons why I should be the one you choose. All those other girls, well they're beautiful, but would they write a song for you?" - - - - - - - - - - Melanie Elwood had absolutely no hope in surviving her last year of high school happily. It's bad enough to be the new girl. It's even worse when you're the new girl for your senior year. But the teachers are really nice, and the food is really good, and she's got a parking spot right up front. And eventually, Mel thinks things will be okay. Especially when she meets Stephen Aimes. It's just that, unfortunately, she has competition. A lot of competition.

Colton Pearce is annoying, a flirt, and definitely not in Cassidy's ten-year plan. Then again, neither is falling in love. When their English teacher hires them to clean his grandmother's house for the summer, she discovers that there may be more to Colton than meets the eye. Through a valuable baseball card, strained relationships with fathers, and much dust, Cassidy and Colton might discover forty-seven uses for a paperclip and -possibly -even love along the way.
