Seventeen-year-old Emmy Clark keeps control of everything in her life from her perfect GPA to her Ivy League-worthy resume, yet the one person who always seemed to pull her out of line was her childhood best friend, Grayson King. So when Grayson moved away after his parents' messy divorce last year, Emmy convinced herself it was for the best and forced herself to forget the unfailing friendship she had with the rock-and-roll boy-next-door. Until Grayson makes an unexpected appearance at his mother's remarriage and all of Emmy's tangled feelings about him come rushing back in what she thinks is the only night she'll ever see him again.
But for reasons Emmy can't figure out, Grayson is back for good--living at the house next door, working at the family restaurant in town, playing the guitar until three in the morning, and getting under Emmy's skin like he never even left. And even when he's driving her crazy, Grayson seems to be the only person who can keep Emmy from falling apart. Soon, she's left with her heart pulled in two different directions: does she continue to hate the boy who left or let herself fall in love with the boy who came back?

Will Zach find a way to fit in with his new surroundings? Then, there's Kelsey Davis, one of the popular girls of the school. She's beautiful, charming, and, of course, she can be a bit questionable. Luckily, there's almost always a side to people that nobody sees. Hanging out with the wrong crowd has gotten to Kelsey's nerves, but she doesn't want to leave her friends. Having such a reputation with the entire school has extremely high standards, and she can't meet them anymore. Will everything change when she notices a unique boy among the crowds who might need a friend? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Disclaimer: This is the very first book that I ever wrote. It was created in the Fall of 2018 by a 15-year-old girl who had no idea how to construct and develop a story. It's still a very precious story to my heart and I will always keep it published here. :) Word Count: ~70,000-75,000Complete
