14-year-old Mikaela Blake (Mickey, to her friends) is finishing up her freshman year of high school. She has big dreams and she knows exactly what life holds for her. From a young age, she knew exactly what she wanted to be when she grew up: a musician.
15-year-old Alec Ryce is the exact opposite. He has no idea who he wants to be, what he wants to do. His main focus is the present, and he knows that, eventually, that will have to change.
When the arts department announces its annual talent show, Mickey is excited to participate. Alec, however, could care less. That is, until he hears that there's a $500 prize attached to the first place trophy!
The only problem is, there are auditions for the talent show, and in order to get through the auditions, you have to be good at your talent, which has to be related to the Arts.
Luckily for Alec, there is a very talented girl with a severe case of stage fright right around the corner...

I followed Parker down the hall and he unlocked our door, holding it open for me. As soon as the click of the door closed, he cornered me against it, his hands on either side of my head.
I held in a breath because of his proximity. "I've been wanting to kiss you since the day I met you," he voiced honestly and nudged his nose against my own. "You taste so good, Paige, you don't even know."
I looked away, not being able to handle his words but he quickly brought his index finger under my chin to bring my face back to his.
