Conner Rogers: Hot, athletic, and popular, with an ego the size of the Empire State Building. Selena Rider: Clumsy, uncoordinated-and-most-definitely-not-athletic, and sarcastic, with an unfortunate affinity for making self destructive life decisions. Against all odds, Selena and Conner have remained best friends longer than either can even recall, joined at the hip and constantly searching for adventure. Or trouble. Or both. Until puberty kicks in, and BAM!, they go from being best friends for life, to best friends with benefits. No one else knows, for now anyways, and keeping it that way will prove more of a challenge than expected. The two will have to deal with the fact, that the things they want, are sometimes the things that they never expected to want. There's a test of devotion and friendship approaching them, and no one is certain that they will make it out with their hearts in one piece. After all, best friends are forever. Right?

One thing that was never on the agenda was falling in love with her best friend's brother, who had spent the past six years tormenting her. When Jordan Martin stepped foot into Katie's life six years ago, he tried all he could to gain her attention, even if it meant making her life a living hell. Now, he has entered his final year at High School, Katie one year behind, yet that doesn't stop him from trying to show her how much he wants her. One problem they must try to avoid: Elsa. Will they keep it a secret from her? Can Katie risk it all for him? Will she finally give him the chance to be with her despite all the pain he had caused her? As their wacky relationship has twists and turns, Katie tries to forget about the past even if it means losing a friendship that she lives for.

Growling lowly, I rose from my seated position and took a few steps back from the door and stood in my fighting stance, preparing myself for the worst.
