Being new in town and in school, she hopes that she will have a successful fresh start that can help her emotionally and physically. However, her determination is challenged when she faces the cruelty of ending up at the bottom of the school's social ladder, getting bullied by the school barbies and possibly revolting the school's heart-throb, Will Everett.
Though it may seem like she has it bad, Graciela finds comfort when she works in her grandmother's famous Ambury Cafe. Being greeted by wonderful costumers, walking around in the sweet aroma of the Cafe and working with her crush, Eric Fields. She is happy with living two different situations in her life, but what would happen if those situations had morphed into one huge situation? Like Will Everett working in the same cafe? A lot can happen in cafe hours.

Danielle Martin isn't a typical girl in high school. She doesn't wear tight clothes or pounds of makeup, she isn't popular and isn't really a big fan of all the attention. Books and Netflix are her Friday nights, staying home and eating sweets and junk. She's small and vulnerable, shy because she doesn't have the life everyone thinks she does. But that all changes... Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more. But that also all changes... Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end. Can they make it together?Complete
