"Naveen will explain everything to you," he loosened his embrace before adding, "Promise me you'll be okay?" I nodded meekly, and drew an 'x' across my heart with my finger. Ren furrowed his brow. "What are you doing?" I giggled. "Crossing my heart." He stared at me, still looking confused. "It's like a promise," I explained. "Have you never heard of that before?" He shook his head. "Why wouldn't you just say 'I promise'?" His confusion only made me laugh more.

After the traumatizing night that tore apart Ellie's entire family, she develops Androphobia. A fear of men. When she realizes that therapy hasn't helped her fear subside, she and her sister move to San Francisco in hopes that it'll give them both a fresh start. But when she's enrolled in Westprep, a school with boys and girls, she meets the egotistical Chase Milestone. Their encounter makes her realize that for the first time in her life, her phobia might actually be the least of her concerns. -- Chase is the stereotypical bad boy. Or at least, he was. When one of his pranks goes too far, he ruins the life of an innocent girl and devastates his mom. Now, he will do anything to destroy his bad boy rep and mend the broken relationship he has with his mother. Unfortunately for him, he accidentally bumps into a lost blonde girl searching for her class one Monday morning and his whole life is turned upside down. Literally. I guess it's just his luck that the girl has a crippling fear of men. ***This is a story about a girl with very real and serious problems and how she finds herself.
