He needs to clear his mind.

There's a girl.
She is in the playground off to the far side of the oval he is running on. It's quaint in comparison to the one up front of the park, consisting of only a few play equipment that include a slide, swings and small monkey bars. She's climbing the slide.
Nate watches in bewilderment as she reaches for the top of the little red roof and swings herself up, although clumsily. Unsteadily the girl rises to her feet.
What's she trying to do?
-
April is new to town. She's fun and quirky and a personality. Basically everything that he is not. However in a chance encounter, something clicks between the two that acts as a catalyst for their burgeoning relationship.
Nate cannot help but to fall.
Hard.
In the most literal sense.
Seriously ouch.

A chance encounter turned into bold flirtation, and now she finds herself caught between intrigue and caution. Should she give him a chance? Or is he just another heartbreaker playing a game? Between school, deep talks with her effortlessly elegant best friend Zoe, and the looming senior party she almost forgot about, things are getting interesting. And as much as she tries to play it cool, she can't ignore one undeniable fact-Nate is getting under her skin.
