My full name is Alexandra Andrews, but I go by Alex. Ever since I was 14, I'd always been somewhat of a rebellious child. You know, the typical black nail polish, colored hair, and punk clothing, but never anything too bad. But when I was 15, I meet Luke Hemmings, a boy who was trying to start a band and lived down the street from me. Long story, short: I fell in love with him. When I was 17, about two and a half years later, Luke left me. I was heartbroken. I turned to alcohol and drugs to help me survive. I couldn't move on. He did. His band was becoming successful and he didn't need me anymore. But I loved him more than he even knew. 2 months later, right around Christmas, I tried to commit suicide. Now I'm 19 and it's been two years since I've seen Luke.
Alice is a 17 year old girl, who temporarily moves to Sydney to live with a foster family since her own parents don't want to speak to her anymore. She goes to school with her foster brother and sister and then she meets Luke Hemmings, the shy boy who always chooses to sit by himself in the back of the classroom.
When they get to know each other, Luke falls madly in love with her, but Alice just sees him as her best friend.
Is Alice going to open her eyes and see that Luke is in love with her?
