James lost his memory. James Anderson finds himself in a hospital that he doesn't recognise, along with unfamiliar faces. He has to stay there for two days, and as two days pass by, he needs to go to his private school.
He finds that school is hard. Kids are gossiping (about him), teachers are treating him like a disabled dog, and most of all, the school bully couple, Aaron Hutchins and Eva Simmons, are making him feel like a dirtbag.
But there is one girl that doesn't find him disgusting.
Catherine is scared. Catherine Noelle, the school praised shy girl, smarty pants of grade eight, is afraid. Afraid of the grade eight class and what might happen after the effect of when she humiliated Eva Simmons had dried out.
Afraid of how clueless James Anderson had appeared when he came to school. The one person that brings him up, the only good guy in the school, who protected her, defended her, and lifted her spirits.
But rumour is, James had lost his memory. Did he forget the spark they had together? Did he forget the wonderful relationship they had?

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
