Book 1 | Completed | My name is Hayden Price. I'm an eighteen-year-old senior in high school. Oh, and I'm the quarterback of the football team. My life has been basically mapped out since before I was born. Since my dad couldn't make it to the NFL due to an injury, his dream became my dream. He's been grooming me ever since my 3rd birthday. He put a football in my hands and BAM. Dream. Set. Match.
It was all going according to plan for me. I was enjoying my life, partying, meeting girls, and planning my future as an NFL player. Then on the first day of my senior year, I woke up and something was...different. No, not something. EVERYTHING. Suddenly I was questioning what I wanted my life to be. I didn't feel the same.
Then, there it was. That pivotal moment....when I saw her.
