Our story begins with an average girl, living an average life in an average family, attending an average high school. At this point she didn’t find anything special about herself, even with the constant spoiling from her parents. This was just one of the few positive things about having her older brother overseas. Although spoiled, she was never unkind to anyone, at least not without good reason to be nasty. As valedictorian of her senior class, this girl had more responsibilities than most at her age. Let’s just say that school took up enough of her time to leave her practically friendless. Aside from her best friend, Victoria Andrews, she had no one other than her brother, so why shouldn’t she have good grades? Even Tori had a boyfriend though. This particular guy just happened to be Allan Jacobsen, the star of West Point High’s varsity football team, and for the first time, the smart girl actually did something dumb. Allowing this jock to rip the heart right off of her sleeve some time ago, Emily Parker fell head-over-heels for him just as every other girl at their school had.
Despite their lack of conversation, Allan had somehow found out about her feeling. The good thing is that he had concealed it ever since them, deciding that it was to be their “little secret”. Now they barely glance at each other in fear of ruining the relationships that they had both grown with Tori. Emily’s life may seem average, but future drama and a mysterious, new guy will soon make her so-called shabby life be something of more importance.
