Alex Harper loves Dylan West ever since she can remember. Too bad he never noticed her. Not even with the countless dinners at each other's houses and vacations spent together, thanks to their parents' long friendship.
Well, that's about to change! Now that she's a Senior, Alex decided it was time for a makeover. She looks different and feels more confident. Sometimes at least...
Considering Dylan is going to college close to home, hopefully, he will finally see her as more than the girl he grew up with. A girl can dream, right?
When summer is over and Dylan lays eyes on her new version, that dream might just come true.
That is if Bennett West doesn't get in the way.
Meet Dylan, your typical jock, popular, adored by many and Keithton High School's golden boy. No wonder why Alex loves him so much, just like almost every other girl in school.
Now, Bennett couldn't be more opposite from his brother. He sure has the good looks too, but that's all they have in common. He's obsessed with science, doesn't like sports or parties, straight A student and adored by his teachers. People call him weirdo to say the least.
In a whirlwind of events and deep conversations, Alex finds herself getting closer to Bennett and a renewed friendship starts to surface, just to remind her that maybe he's not so weird as people say. Still quiet, but not weird.
When Dylan starts paying attention to Alex, Bennett is worried that she might get her heart broken as he know his brother's ways with girls.
It's not because they are closer now that he has the right to judge her relationship with his brother. Why on earth does he care anyway?
It can only be envy of his brother for all the attention he gets, right? It's not her fault Bennett doesn't have Dylan's charisma.
Maybe Alex will figure it his reasons when it's too late.
Join Alex on her road to dreams coming true, just to realize that maybe she has been dreaming about the wrong person all along.
