When Aria Kennedy moves to Woodview High she is automatically taken into the popular clique.
She befriends Brandon Cassel, the schools best wrestler, who shares a heartbreaking secret.
The friends were obviously meant to be together, just a few things stand in the way.
Like a boyfriend of 7 years.
And of course one very important rule.

I heard a knock on my door, dressed in my Prom dress. I sighed and got up, putting the ice-cream onto the side. I went to open the door and took a deep breath. My heart sunk when I saw who was at the door.
"Hi," Brandon said, with flowers in his hand. My heart fluttered as I smiled.
"Hey," I said, barely above a whisper.
"Erm," He scratched the back of his neck, and looked around uncomfortably.
"What do I do?" He chuckled nervously.
I sighed and leant against the door frame.
"Just say it's been a long six months. And that you were too afraid to tell her what you want."
"Right. Then?" He asked. He straightened his black tux and fixed his tie a little.
"Well, then that's it. That's how it works." I smiled weakly. "That's how you get the girl."
Becoming the school's new mat maid wasn't my first choice. In fact, it wasn't my choice at all, but when my best friend and his older brother set their minds to something, there's very little they can't convince me to do.
Initially, things didn't seem too bad - doing homework, spending time with my best friend, attending wrestling matches, keeping the book, and, most importantly, watching Matteo and Maddox defeat any opponent who stands in the way of their state championship ring.
That is, until Christmas Eve, when I get caught in a bit of a moment with Maddox, my best friend's older brother.
Maddox has always been my friend, but does what happened at the piano change everything?
And if it did, how am I supposed to tell Matteo?
