Everyone says that high school is the place where you start to discover yourself and make lifelong friends. Those people are generally lying. If you aren't careful, people will walk all over you and your friends will sit back and watch you suffer.
Phoebe Richards is a girl who knows what she wants, but her friends don't share the same confidence. With all of them being boy obsessed, Phoebe feels like an outcast. It would make sense that none of them notice her changing. It would make sense that none of them notice her making bad decisions. It would make sense that none of them help her get away from the one thing that is hurting her.
Phoebe is a young girl who has her life figured out for the most part. She is an active member of her school and also the only one of her friends without a boyfriend. When a random stranger messages her one day, her entire life changes, and no one seems to notice her slowly drowning.
Phoebe is a girl who can easily be overlooked, but what happens when all of her problems become surface level. Will she finally be seen, or will she continue to be the friend who is always there to help, but never needs help.

If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California. But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought.

But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be. As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both? Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.Complete
