It all starts on a typical Sunday afternoon when Katie Hursh's best friend is apparently taken advantage of at a club, by none other than the school's new kid and soon to be notorious badass, Cameron Carters. Long story short, she ends up slapping him and leaving a big red mark on his cheek. Now, he wants revenge for the humiliation the slap cost him and is willing to do anything to take the naive Katie Hursh down in order to retain his untouchable and rather petty reputation. Will Katie be able to get through her senior year without becoming a broken mess? Will Cameron be able to restore balance, once and for all? Or, will both their lives come crashing down on them? ********************************* To think, it all started with a slap.

Rush, rush, rush. That's all it ever is nowadays. Some people rush to make it to work on time, others to school. Anyhow, everybody is always in the largest of rushes. Nobody ever bothers to stop by and say one mere word that could make your life spiral into whole other one. Nobody ever dares to utter one simple and symbolic word that could intertwine two fates together, forever. Nobody has the decency to. Everybody is caught too far up into their own lives to notice others buzzing with life around them. Maybe this is the fault in us humans. We're far too selfish. Always snatching times and opportunities for ourselves, stranding others with nothing. Get ready, get set and go. That's the way it's always been, ever since you were born. Although, maybe, some people do have the time to sacrifice for others. This is a story about what happens when you put others before yourselves. Behold, Leah Wilson's life. Strap on your seatbelt and hold on tight, because this is going to be one hell of a ride. Oh, and don't forget a box of tissues. You're going to need them.
