Bailey Walter is not your ideal type of seventeen year old. She’s sarcastic, stubborn, playful, mischievous, fun, humorous and very out there. She doesn’t care what the world thinks about her, because she is Bailey Walter, the one and only. She attends a private school in which only nineteen kids attend year twelve with her, and out of those kids, she is classified the “class clown”. In case you haven’t guessed it already, Bailey loves to play pranks, and she loves to catch people by surprise.
Come along Ashton Summer’s. He’s got more secrets than Bailey has clothing, and he’s moved in just next door to Bailey with his mother and his ten year old sister. Ashton isn’t your ideal guy either; he’s cocky, arrogant, sarcastic, hot, mischievous, reckless and all around bad news with his tattoos and clothing choices.
But when you put the bad boy into a small private school, where Bailey attends, what will fate change? Can Bailey find a way into Ashton’s solid heart, or will things take a turn for the worst?
