Tom Hillside isn't the most emotional guy. It's clear, so easy to tell. But after Tord Lagesen had left for almost six years, Tom... Let's say, got emotional. He got mad--and I mean enraged--at the slightest mention of Tord. He hated him.
One day, Edd, Matt, and Tom had gone fishing. Tom had used the harpoon, of which he had sold the sofas to buy, to catch a giant whale. He came home, only to see... A familiar face trying to break into his home.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
