You know that one kid in your grade that stands by themselves everyday, has no friends, no social life at all, the one that's the easiest to laugh at, the one the popular clique goes out of their way more to embarrass, well that's me, Emma Ryan, and I'm only in the fourth grade. On top of this, I'm not going to lie but I'm pretty good at math and I'm also very creative and artsy, yep, I'm a nerd.
Meet Emma Ryan, in the fourth grade she's well, considered a nobody. No fancy clothes, no sober parents, no friends. That is until she meets Jake Parker. Fast forward a couple of years and they are seniors in high school. Jake is the player, quarterback and unmistakably the hottest guy at their school. When Emma's past comes back to haunt her she needs Jake but does Jake still need her? Sworn to a promise, a bond of forever friendship, how long will it last before all that's left is what used to be.
Kayla Ryans tries to maintain control in all aspects of her life and avoids relationships at all costs. When she signs up for a Co-ed Summer Beach Volleyball League the last thing she expects is to befriend Jake Mitchells. On the surface they seem to be complete opposites. The whole town thinks they know Jake, but maybe he has more secrets than anyone. Can a girl with trust issues team up with a guy like that to win the prize money they both so desperately need? What is Jake hiding? Why does Kayla have trust issues? Why do they need this prize money so badly? Can the past ever truly stay in the past? You think they'll fall in love and everything will be just easy and wonderful right? Hah as if it is ever that easy. It's an unlikely duo so who knows what could happen.
