Charlotte's life at home was anything but simple. There was a lot of fighting and money issues, but everyone climbs a mountain to see the sunrise. Charlie was just waiting to stop climbing. Waiting. And waiting. And freakin waiting. She'd been going to the same school since first grade and knew the kids almost as well as she knew her younger brother. But they didn't know her that well. Logan. Stupid Logan. He had to come into her life, become her best friend, have her fall for him, then decide to date her other best friend before dating the school slut and losing his virginity to her in eighth grade. If you're wondering, Charlotte's pretty fantabulous at holding grudges. Yet as the new school year comes around a new guy, Xavier, enters the neighborhood and finally draws Charlie's attention away from Logan. He's special, different, kind, sweet, mysterious and definitley over protective. What happens when the love of your life doesn't exactly love you back or when a new guy comes skedaddaling into the picture? No one really knows. And no one in the world really cares. Puh-lease girlfriend, cry me a river.

Avery Johnson is a mediocre girl, living in a mediocre world. Or so she thinks. She's an only child and her parents are still happily married. Her best friends are Simone and Alexio. Alexio Ramones is the boy next door, but he's also the mysterious troublemaker at Harrison High. Their friendship has been kept between them since the day she was born. Sure, it was never an actual secret, they just never felt the need to tell anyone, and didn't talk in school since they belonged in different social groups. Love is inevitable. Drama is also inevitable seeing as they're teenagers trying to figure out why the hell you need to learn algebra in school because you'll never need it after graduation either way. Alexio is an ignorant and selfish bastard when it comes to everything except Avery. He's loved her for years and given her all the signs she should have needed to figure it out. Everything. Yet, the moment Adam joins their school, she starts dating him and Alexio is left feeling his heart shattering as the love of literally all his life finds happiness in someone else. In another man. He's selfless until suddenly he's not and the world falls apart. For once it's not the girl that gets her heart broken by the bad boy, rather the other way around.
