Preparing for Takeoff

Closed off, vague, prickly. All words to describe Gale. She likes to think that she simply marches to the beat of her own drum. Whether or not those around her understand the rhythm. Far from home in a city university she finally feels like she's starting to figure it out. She's doing great in school, and most importantly she's far from the small town gossip of back home Southern suburbia. She has a great group of friends, and most of all, her partner in crime, Nate.
Outgoing, boisterous, warm. The two couldn't be more different. And yet, they just click. Their friendship is built on cliches. He never reads, she can't put books down. She likes a tight circle, and he's friends with everybody.
Gale thinks that this next year, their senior year, is going to be the best of their lives. They'll jet-set over to New York for the summer, absolutely destroy the game of barely paid interning, then start the school year in style in the coolest undergrad-pad on campus.
But what will Gale do, when things don't go to plan? When those you trust were keeping secrets? When these secrets change your life forever?
Make sure your seats and tray tables have been returned to their upright position, because I hope you're ready for one of the oddest rom-edy tales you've heard yet.
