"They say your heart will break approximately seven times before you get married, but I never would have thought that meant by the same person all at once..."

High school is already as tough as it is, and Leah Anderson has a lot more problems headed her way in her personal life when a boy she strongly believed felt the same way, shows his true colors. But how could it be this shy, yet sassy young woman's fault if she expected a happy ending to her story?
Nathan Sanders; the charming light of the poor towns local high school, and technically the most popular student who goes there. Now, we usually wouldn't judge a person so quickly without properly getting to know them, but man was this kid something else! His attractive looks could have any girl beg for just a simple glance at them, or something else we might have in mind..
Now what would high school be without a total bitch who just exists to ruin everything, right? Mitchy Anastasia, the towns prettiest girl anyone's ever known. Let's just say, she knows how to get what she wants exactly when she wants it.
We simply can't forget our new student, Anthony Mendez. A handsome young man who crushes on the wrong people at the wrong time. Poor kid, he doesn't have much luck with relationships, but he's offered another chance at his new school! Hopefully...
An last but not least, the two girls who stick by one of our characters sides almost at all times, Harper Mitchell and Lexi Brookes! These two are definitely the interesting duo. Almost as if they are the same person, but still so different. I've heard from around the halls that they are really useful for having fun. One is care-free for everything, while the other just likes to party.
Now that we all have a brief idea of how our characters are like, let's see how rough our story turns out to be with all of these lovely folks in it..

Kami felt alive for the first time in her life. But can Kami let go of what she's done? Will she ever be able to find friendship again? Will she ever allow someone to love her?
