Naoki Byron blends into the background.
While everyone else seems to be falling in love, and figuring life out, Naoki's stuck watching it all pass her by. Quiet, anxious, and practically invisible at school, she's learned how to hide behind daydreams and doubt.
But then there's Abel Price-confident, untouchable, and way out of her league.
He's the school's soccer golden boy. She's the girl too scared to show up to his games.
Still, she can't stop thinking about him.
And maybe just maybe he's not as far away as he seems.
