"Westwood Preparatory, home to music prodigies, and artists in the making. Each student gifted with a full spectrum of talent, come in the hopes of becoming legendary. Westwood is notorious for the utmost excellence in academics, sports and most importantly music."
So how the hell does Grant Reynolds, the epitome of bad*ss fit in?
As far as Aspen Henderson - great grand-daughter of the founder of the school - knows, he's the grim reaper come to life.
He smokes. He breaks all rules just by existing - in Aspen's opinion. He's callous, and doesn't seem human at all. He has a sinful smirk and most importantly worships his iconic black leather jacket. He doesn't appear to have any care at all for the school - nor is it apparent he has any musical talent at all. So what the hell is he doing at Westwood?
After all, he's the exact opposite of Aspen Henderson, who's epitome of perfection.
As far as Grant Reynolds cares to know, Aspen's a real-life Malibu Barbie. She doesn't smoke, for one. Has never broken any rules - and in his opinion, has never had a life. She's kind, and popular. She has a perfect smile that has people tripping over their feet to worship her - just like her father's. And, her life appears to revolve around dresses, stilettos, lip-gloss and her instrument.
He's notorious for being himself without any inhibitions, yet doesn't allow anyone to catch a slight glimpse of him beneath his "unimpressed with the world" facade. He entertains a crowd with ease, talks charmingly that leads everyone to think they know everything about him, when he clearly hides secrets.
Well, everyone except Aspen - who hates him-, and she's intent on discovering those secrets of his, and she's pulled deeper into the mystery of Grant Reynolds more than before. Except she has a faltering anchor, which is futile in rescuing her. Will she lose herself in the process or will her heart be lost in unraveling Grant Reynolds – who is, most certainly a legacy unto himself?
"He talks about you a lot, you know?" She said, her smirk clearly audible in the inflection of her voice, making me blush.
"What does he say about me?"
"Good things but nothing I ever doubted. Sometimes when I'm on the phone with him, he tells me about his day and when he gets to the part about you, I can hear his smile."

She was a sophomore. He was a senior. They had a budding romance that would lead them into becoming high school sweethearts...or so everyone thought.
Hadley Summers and Milo Jensen had a special connection that was certain and unprecedented. Their flirty mannerisms and late night chats that lasted until the early hours of the morning led to a belief of having a promising future together.
But the day of Milo's graduation brings the end to their blossoming relationship.
After three years, will they pick things back up from where they left off, or will it become a "what if" memory?
