Entering high school is tricky, but Maria is set. She has her longtime best friend, Daniel, with her, and soon meets athletic and funny Jackson and musically-talented Aaron. The four become an inseparable pack, and tenth grade is suddenly alright.
It's not long before Maria and Jackson develop feelings for each other, as most opposite-gender close friends do. Maria's never been so happy, but the more time she spends with her best friend-turned-boyfriend, the more Daniel starts to drift away. At the same time, it's obvious Aaron has a secret, one that he can't share no matter what. Before the school year ends, Maria is suddenly caught in what seems to be a love triangle... or maybe... a love square? One thing's for sure: none of them will ever forget the year that changed everything.
