Nevaeh Mitchell is a 16 year old girl who is so used to being friendzoned it doesn't even phase her. She even knows the exact number, 11 boys have friendzoned her. The way it happens always differs, but it's always something along the lines of "You're like a sister to me." or "I'm so happy we're friends." It's a never-ending cycle, that is, until she meets Aaron Fujiwara. He's confident, sweet, and most important, hot. Suprisingly, he seems to have taken a keen interest on Nevaeh, which doesn't happen often for her. Nevaeh wants to keep her guard up, but Aaron's charming advances can't help but make her swoon over him. For one last time, can she open her heart up to another guy that she's hopelessly fallen for?
