"It all started in the sandbox."

Ever since Savannah Summers and Seth Calder met when they were six years old, they've been inseparable. Countless nights spent in the tree house, deep dark secrets revealed under the safety of a blanket, devious pranks, and endless days of laughter, sarcastic banter, and just being themselves make a recipe for the best kind of friendship.
At the end of freshmen year, however, their friendship takes a hit. Savannah finds out that Seth's father has acquired a new job.
The thing is.... it's all the way in Washington. Seth must leave his best friend back in California. Savannah must learn to survive high school without Seth, with only phone calls and video chats to keep their friendship alive. Or so she thought...
Several days before junior year comes to an end, Seth reveals that he is coming back for senior year. When he returns, Savannah quickly learns that not only has Seth changed, but so has their friendship.... for better or for worse? You'll have to find out.

"What's this?" Seth asked, pointing to a paper hanging on my cork board.
"Oh that... don't make fun of me.. but it's my dreamer's list," I said.
"What's a dreamer's list?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Would you like to dance?" the boy asks me. I stare deep into his blue eyes, but I can't figure out who he is. He's tall with dark hair and the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen. I know everyone at this school, but with his features hidden behind his mask I can't tell who he is.
"Sure, I would love to." Did I just say that? I agreed to dance with a random boy who I don't know. He takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor.
We dance for a few songs and then he asks me, "Would you like to take a walk? I know the perfect place." I nod and he pulls me behind him off the dance floor. We leave the hotel and start walking down a little path. At the end of the path I notice a little fountain surrounded by candles. I wonder if he set this up. We walk over to the fountain and we sit down on the edge. "I had a wonderful time tonight," says the guy. He reaches to his face and removes his mask. I recognize him immediately. How did I not know it before?
