Is love just an illusion, or could it possibly happen to just an average girl like me? How can one tell the difference when you can't see it or know how it feels? I've always wondered why I still believe in love when I read books or watch TV. However, once reality sets in, I don't believe in love at all. *************************************************************************************** Hailey's a senior in high school in Charlotte, North Carolina, with just two months until graduation and her finally going to her dream school, Columbia University. Shy, with one close friend. Afraid of love, but wants to experience the romance she reads about in books. Ethan's two years into NYU, coming home for summer break. He lived 5 houses from Haliey's house before going off to NYU. He's been attracted to Haliey for at least three years but never had the chance to tell her. Attraction starts at prom, but can both of them fight for each other or will the obstacles blow them up in flames?
