"Hello, my name is Trevor Patters. I'm from England and--"
I covered his mouth with my hand and glared at him.
"Yeah, I fu*kin' know. Now will you just shut up before we get caught." I said as I gritted my teeth.
He nodded and took a inhale after I let go of the grasp of my hand.
"Excuse me..."
"Elena." I said as I looked around making sure we were safe.
"Elena, who are we exactly hiding from?" He said as he once again raised his index finger in the air.
I breathed out a sigh.
"My stubborn brother and his girlfriend, Rudy."
Rudy Taubes, my ex-bestie, to be exact.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
