A new family arrives in town (Hartford, Vermont). In that new family, you have the 17-year-old boy, Mark Stevens (the new guy). Mark, like a normal teenager, just wants to live day by day and figure it out what he wants to do in the future. His younger sister, Sidney Stevens, is always the best in everything she does besides one thing, everything that has to do with boys. So it's not going to be easy for them.
Being in a new town means new school, new friends, new experiences, new loves, and even new enemies, basically, everything is new. And different when you go from the comfort life of Manhattan to a small town in Vermont.
In this new school, Mark will meet "The Perfect Girl" (as they call her), Miranda Watson, who is unique, precious, too sweet, and too easy to break like a glass 'cause she's not as perfect as she seems to be.
When things seemed to be bad they will get worse because Jackson Morgan will fight back, 'cause he just wants to continue to be the most popular guy in school, and it ain't easy when Lisa Campbell enters your life like a hurricane and messes up your mind (and maybe your heart?) and it seems like you reached rock bottom when Damon Parker wakes up everyday with the purpose of ruining your day.
This story chronicles the heartbreaks, the challenges, the lies, the loves, the adventures, the mistakes, and the fears of being a teenager. And if you were one, you know what I'm talking about. If you're going through it, I'm sorry to you and to your parents, and if in the future you're going to be one, you can learn a thing or two. And the first thing to learn is that when you're young everything seems too hard and too simple at the same time, but nothing is ever easy, but the best thing about being young is that no matter who, what, or where, you'll always live your life as it is the last day.
'Cause when you're young it's All or Nothing at All!
Cole the Not So Stereotypical Jock
Being the most popular guy that girls all want to be with and all guys want to be should make you feel on top of the world, right? Not always, especially if you have to keep the fact that you can barely afford food a secret at all costs. And then the new girl shows up with her amazing dance moves and intoxicatingly confusing logic, and he can't seem to get her out of his head. She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger.
Not Andy
Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing.
During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love. Both of them knowing that stories like this never happen to kids like them, but they're willing to try anyway.
