16 year old Shelby Thompson lives in Springville, Utah with her mother and father, three brothers and a sister.
Shelby went to church every Sunday, and Ky, a boy in her Sunday-School class and in her high school, started to date.
Their relationship was getting stronger and stronger, but on the day of their graduation, Ky gets in a car crash, and dies. Shelby is heartbroken at the news, and believes that she can never love again.
As her last year of high school comes around, Shelby hears rumors spread that a new boy has come to town and goes to their school.
Shelby is great at making new friends, so she plans on meeting the new boy at a coffee shop. She waits until a boy walks up to her, announcing he is the new kid. His eyes are icy blue, his skin is a little darker than Shelby's, and he has shaggy dark brown hair. He announces to her that his name is Alex and he comes from Boston, Massachusetts.
Shelby is mesmerized at the cute boy, and she somehow makes through the day with a new friend.
Later on, they start to get more and more friendly, until prom rolls around. All the girls woo over Alex. They flirt with him, get all quirky, and try to make him like them.
Shelby is then angered by this, but lets them do what they want, but what she doesn't know is that Alex wants to take HER to prom.
Two days before the prom, Alex asks her, and she says yes.
On the night, Alex accidentally reveals a deep secret that he held on to for a couple of years. Will Shelby accept him for who he is, or will she turn him down and leave? Find out in 'Deep Secret.'
"Fuck you, Springs" - he spats
"In your dreams, Henderson"
"How'd you know?" - he replies, with a smirk on his face.
Jade Springs only had one goal in her life and that was to make it till 20.
See,Jade wasn't really a very happy person. She was quite the opposite. Well if you can call an quiet, socially awkward, no friends and shit grades person happy. And not to mention the fact that her only happiness is reading books and making playlists about them.
James Henderson is the opposite of Jade. He is a very out going person, who would do anything to see his friends happy even if that means that him, himself wouldn't be. Some people think that that's a weakness but James sees it as a very good quality. Of course his biggest rival Jade doesn't think so. Anytime they have an assignment together she would always call him out on that, while James would call her out on her no socialism and her shitty eye bags. What he would not tell her is that he kinda finds them attractive. Very attractive.
Jade and James are fine with never talking to each other but there is one tiny problem. They both have the same two mutual friends. Avery and Xander.
That and the fact that their families are really close. Like really close. When they were kids James's family would come over all the time. But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about Avery and Xander, well for now.
Avery and Xander are absolutely crushing crazy with each other. Of course everyone else sees it but them.
Their misscommunication is driving both Jade and James crazy.
One day when they're seated together for an assignment they both can't take it anymore and come up with a plan to get their idiots together. Well more likely a deal. Which one will be able to get Avery or Xander to confess first wins.
But what they don't realise is that they are actually setting themselves up.
*perfect for "better than the movies" lovers! *
