Claire Shaffer has everything she needs in life.  Her parents are awesome, she's graduated with honours and she's ready for a summer of fun with her two best friends before getting serious at college.  Yet when her fun leads her into the path of Hollywood A-List actor Jay Dawson, Claire's simple summer goes in a direction she never thought it would lead.

This novella is a spin-off from my completed novel 'Out of Tune'. It also acts as a prequel to my upcoming novel 'Broken Strings'. All three pieces act in a standalone fashion with recurring characters spanning across the different novels.

"𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞?" Starting her junior year, Lia DeMarco's predictable life takes a sharp turn when she vows to break out of her comfort zone and date the wealthy football star, Matt Benson. She expected parties and popularity on the sun-soaked horizon, what she didn't expect was the magnetic Nate Miller crashing in and leaving a mark as big as his irresistible grin. Asking Nate for surf lessons seemed like a surefire way to shake up her routine, but finding themselves alone together at a wild party sends ripples through her carefully planned path. Facing fears and swimming into uncharted waters, Lia is quickly swept from current to current, caught in a relentless battle of head vs heart. But you can only tread water for so long.

SHORT STORY!! There are three things you should know before you start reading our story. One, my name is Vanessa and I'm a fucking idiot. I'm not stupid or anything, I just make idiotic choices that make my life so much harder. Two, this isn't a very good story. Nothing here is perfect and I'm not a very good story teller. It's messy, crazy, unplanned, and at times, it's just fucking stupid. Three, I've always wondered what the point of life is. Being a second choice for everyone around you will make you feel small, invisible, so what's really the point. That always leads me to the question: What is life? I never really found an answer for it, so if you know, please provide me with some insight. Well, now that I have warned each of you, this is the start of our story.
