Ellie Knight has her whole future planned out for her, but instead, she chooses to go away to college to get away from that future; the one her parents created in their minds.
When her best friend, Lana, drags her to a party she runs into Grayson Pierce. Just by looking at him it is obvious why girls throw themselves at him.
Ellie shrugs Grayson off thinking she will never see him again, but when Lana begins dating Derek she finds out him and Grayson are best friends, and never seeing him again isn't an option.
As Ellie and Grayson begin to spend more time together a friendship builds, and even though others think it's more, or should be more, Ellie is adamant they're just friends.

First love, kisses and love letters
Excerpt-- Take a breath, Lana. Everything will be okay. My stomach churned when I noticed his perfectly combed chestnut hair walking through the corridor by himself, just like any other day. I basically jumped out of the bush, nearly tripping in the process. With no time to fix my hair, I rushed in front of him causing him to stop. "Who are you?" He asked, staring deeply into my eyes, practically making me melt. "I'm Lana Hart, we're in the same grade," acting like a robot reciting the speech I had a plan in my head. "Could you please accept this letter?" I bowed my head down like an idiot, may I add waiting for him to take the letter. Soft panic aroused in my chest. Please let this one good thing happen to me. ---- Charming, quiet, intimidating, interesting, smart; Declan Novak was the perfect student at Yvon High School. It was as if he had the 'golden touch'.
