Before You (Jereal #1)

High school is the life, isn't it?
Rachael Jessie Montez just got into high school and makes a new best friend, Diane. With a struggling mother, an absent father, and a little brother, she obviously has too much to think about. Juggling with her studies and her family. Surprisingly, her secret crush, whom she has never spoken to, is her best friend's cousin, in the same high school.
Rachel is in that phase where she gets attention from most of the guys she meets. It brings her out of her comfort zone. Making hasty decision she regrets from time to time. With ravaging hormones, she finds herself fantasizing about different guys. But just one person is regular. One she never seems to get enough of. But he's far within her reach.
Jeremy Mathews seems like a high school bad boy- getting into fights and all. But is he really a bad boy? Or is he a troubled boy, locked in a teenager's body?
She gets entangled in a relationship between Diane, her boyfriend, and Jeremy. Will Rachael be able to save Jeremy? Will she be able to maintain a proper relationship with her boyfriend? Will Rachael be able to detangle herself from the webs of relationships?
