Kayla Everson is a 18 year old girl, who left her home to study law in Boston. She doesn't want much from life, loves being on her own. Always worked better that way. And now that she is starting this new life journey, she has only one important rule in her heart. Do not fall in love, under any circumstance. With this rule of a shield, she embarks confident in her future. On the other hand we have the genius Aaron Andrews. He is one eager, spontaneous, very determined 19 year old, who will also study law...in Boston. He is not in a search of a special someone, yet he isn't against one either. He just never really had the time to think about it. So to sum it all up, we have a girl who doesn't want love in her life, at any cost, and a guy who doesn't really care about it. I have just one question. What happens when they meet? What happens when an unexplainable strong pull, pushes them towards each-other constantly? How do they stop this undeniable feeling? Will Kayla break her rule and make an exception? (Not likely) Will Aaron give up on this new emotion he has stumbled upon? (Not likely either) He is VERY stubborn.

What happens when Kayla finds herself in a horrible position, having to make the hardest decision of her life? Will she choose love or well...love? (Kinda confusing right? Yeah I know. I'm weird.)

I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life.
