Meet Lyric Brooks- The girl with rocky past. The girl who never fits in completely. The nerd, the dork, the quiet kid that sits in the corner of the room. Ever since the event that turned her life upside down, she has refused to open up to anybody claiming that she'll just get hurt again. She swore to herself that she would never completely love anyone from that moment on, not even her own family or her boyfriend. But when she moves to a new town, her promise is put to the test as people surround her with love, joy, and a real home.   

Meet John Wells- The head popular. The heartbreaker. The player. The one everyone wants. He's hot, obnoxious, rude, and unbelievably cocky. His irresistible charm attracts almost everyone in a 50 mile radius. He had never been rejected and hadn't failed to make a girl blush just by looking and smiling at them. Until the day he met her. He doesn't understand why he is so drawn to her. He hates her. Everything about her annoys him. Her personality, her guts, her smile, everything. She's a nobody, and he's the king of the school. Why is he so attracted to her? He can't get close to her. He can't let her in. He needs to stay away. He hurts everyone he loves. How can anyone ever love a monster like him?

Join them as they meet and as they go through their awkward everyday life filled with laughter, weirdness, and craziness.
