Lucy Petler is a headstrong high school junior who refuses to give up and never settles for second best. After getting into a fight with her lab partner, Lucy suddenly finds herself on the verge of failing her science fair project. When the class slacker volunteers to be her partner, Lucy thinks she might be better off going back to her old teammate (as much as she hates him), but its too late. The teacher switches the lab partners and Lucy is now stuck with James Schroeder.
James couldn't care less about school, as long as he gets into his dream music program at the Manhattan School of Music. Even though he's only a junior, he plans to graduate early next year and pursue a degree of Music in Piano Pedagogy. Acing his Physics class won't help him later in life, as long as he passes MSM will still accept him. So when his best friend Charlie bets him enough money to finally get his dream piano, he hastily agrees without reading the fine print.
When two worlds collide, the music created could make a symphony cry (tears of joy of pure pain). Will Lucy and James learn to trust each other and their feelings, or will their own goals get in the way of trusting themselves. And when new rivals are formed and feelings are developed, who will be left standing when the grand piano falls?

You're Still A Good Man, Charlie Brown ~ CB + Linus
The story is set 15 years after the boys' Senior graduations-now living the lives of adults whilst having the complications of emotions a teenager typically has. Linus, since getting a degree in teaching, has been working on making his life more organized and independent, abandoning his issues with both abandonment and attachment and focusing on what needs to be done most of the time, whilst still feeding into his "childish" tendencies. Charlie Brown, still a creative with need of a muse, finds himself a hobby that makes him feel both happy and accomplished, and uses that for income and the process of creating joy. Since becoming independent, such as Linus, his life has been more so conditional on the need to stay in the market while living his life to the fullest. When both meet once again, they realize they may need each other to complete their goals, and start to question a lot of things about themselves. They felt this way when they were teenagers, but that was just friendship, and so is this...right?Complete![Maybe Next Time [Part 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/377391620-256-k958493.jpg)
