Kimi has always been one for girl code, but when one of her bestfriends betray her she questions if it's worth it. Their friend group dissolved years ago, but the last year of high school brings everyone face to face. The secret is out of the bag. New additions and new feelings threaten to sever their connections for good. Will the group survive all the new complications sprung on them, or will it remind them why they separated in the first place? ** "Nick.." I didn't know what to say to him because I hadn't yet come to terms about how all this extra 'socializing' made me feel. "You don't owe me anything. I realize that something in our dynamic has changed. From now on, though, I don't intend to hide or lie when I want to do something. Usually that involves you." He stood to his full height and brought me to my feet. I was speechless. Was this a confession? Nothing was straightforward. All of these words sounded cryptic. "I like how you feel in my hands," he whispered down into my ear. I gasped at his words, his voice, and his cool breath against my neck. The seriousness in his tone sent a shiver up my spine. My knees were weak.
