Gabriella and her mother, Arella Monroe, did not find out until last year December, a couple of days before Gabriella's sixteenth birthday. Leo left Arella, Gabriella, her brother Georgie, and Arella in despair with little money Arella is bringing in with nursing.

Seventeen-year-old Noah Hart is seen as the heart-breaker slash bad boy in the high school. Every girl drools over him. He plays basketball and is a star athlete. He is also very intelligent, making straight A's every year, even when he decides to skip class. Even though he seems so amazing and cool at school, it's not the same behind closed doors. His father died when he was five, leaving him and his mother alone to make it. He hates his mom's depression, but she tries to do everything she can for Noah. All the cheerleaders want him and drool over him, but he won't even sleep with them. Ever since his father died, he's hated love.
