"Are you stalking me?" he said, trying to contain his laughter.
"No... I was admiring your boxers?" I said slowly and unsurely as I backed away from the window.
This was the most awkward day of my life. Not like I hadn't had less awkward days. I mean, what else are you supposed to do when your neighbor is the greatest thing since sliced bread?
Well, you stalk him.
He is stalkable after all.

Meet Jessica Oakley, the girl that whispers the answers of a test and never gets thanked. The shy, but rude girl that is invisible to the crowd. The awkward girl that trips on air and stalks hot guys on the internet. The girl that doesn't care about anything or anyone. Well I wouldn't say anything. Maybe except fitting in for once.
Meet Alex Lockhart, the new hot guy in town. The cocky jerk that has an ego twice the size of Russia, the walking STD that probably did every girl at school, but also the secretly sweet guy that hides through his unbreakable walls.
What happens when Alex and Jessica get to know each other better? Well, you get perverted jokes, late night conversations, advice, confessions, and maybe love?
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
