"Maybe one day you'll realize how much you mean to me."
One day she had it all. The best friend. The unforgettable memories. The soccer talent. The naive life.
But that changed when she went to high school.
Enter Leia Meadows. She isn't the brightest girl in school, but that doesn't stop her from pushing herself. She thought freshman year was going to be a blast, with her sophomore friend Annaleigh Rushman by her side.
As luck would have it, Leia came into high school without a single friend, Annie having moved on to bigger and better things.
But just when she thinks it could get worse, she bumps into Chris "Richie" Richards, a sophomore who just so happens to be one of the most popular kids in school.
Cue romantic music.
Yup, as cliche as it sounds, Leia falls head over heels in love with Richie, feeling the impulse to write him letters.
Despite the trouble she's heading into, she believes that maybe, just maybe, he could be the solution to all of her problems.
But, oh, just when Leia thinks she has him, he gets a date.
And that's not even the best part. (Note the sarcasm).
After a whole year, she thought she had it all under control.
She was badly mistaken.
Enter...all of the cruel bullies and helpless bystanders.
Poor, naive Leia has to go through the next three years being terribly teased, beaten, and harassed by other kids in school.
Will she ever make it through high school alive?

I'd like to note that this may sound cheesy, and I'm sorry if so. But, please, don't let that stop you from reading.
This story is for all those who have ever been bullied, whether it was verbal, physical, cyber, or what have you. I hope you enjoy this book and are able to connect with Leia as a character.
Love never came easily for Nathan Reed. Growing up, when his friends would get girlfriends, he would always be the single one. He would be the one third wheeling at the eighth grade dance, homecoming, prom, and any other event involving his friends. Whether it was going to the mall with his friend and his friend's girlfriend, or going to the movies, he was single. He was always single.
At age twenty three in his junior year of college, he's accepted his fate of being single forever. He stopped having crushes four years ago when she asked him for his best friends phone number. He has never even hugged a girl he likes, and he counts kissing Amanda Baldwin in the second grade as his first kiss.
That is until Odeletta Guillotin walks into his French class for the first time, three days after the class already started, late, in a black leather jacket and combat boots. When the teacher talks in French after she's settled in her seat, saying something that nobody understands, Odeletta responds in fluent French. Nathan is promptly intrigued by her. She doesn't even notice him, and he finds himself noticing everything she does, from the way she grips her pen to the way she furrows her eyebrows when she's concentrating. He finds himself wanting to talk to her, but after years and years of rejection, he can't do it.
When he finally gets up the nerve to talk to her, he finds there is a lot more to the mysterious French girl than meets the eye.
