Friendships fall apart in high school. That's just the way it is. You lose friends, and you make new ones. Eventually, you find yourself not even thinking about your old best friend.
Unfortunately, that isn't the case for Kailey Andrews. All of her life, she was best friends with Dominic Foster. She'd like to say that their friendship-break-up was mutual and easy, but the truth is, it was messy and heartbreaking.
Three years after the start of their never-ending argument, the two share nothing but cold glares in the hallways. That is until Dominic's friends decide to start picking on Kailey. Furious, Kailey confronts Dom, and secrets are spilled, tying the two together again.
