Meet Cassie Marshall. Just your average 17 year old girl. Its her senior year, and she has decent grades, a small, but close group of friends, and she's... well, awkward, ...... and antisocial. Her idea of a fun Friday night includes some youtube videos, Netflix, pizza, and sweatpants. If she's feeling really wild and crazy, she might even throw in a Sarah Dessen book! Sounds totally fun, right? I mean sure she's never had a boyfriend, and yes, she's never had her first kiss, but who needs that when you have Nutella? Unfortunately her friends think her Friday nights of fun should be replaces with parties and "priceless" high school memories. Like who even needs that? Not only that, but they are also convinced she needs a BOYFRIEND! As in a human of the opposite gender that she has to spend time with, voluntarily. Ummmmm, HELLOOOO? Have they ever even met her? Against her will, they start to drag her our of her tiny teenage turtle shell. She didn't think she would enjoy it, and she's not saying she does, but it's not half as bad as she imagined. As she starts to explore more of the world around her, she discovers part of herself she didn't know existed, and possibly someone new along the way.
Life for me has always been easy. Hang out with friends, do my homework, eat and sleep. That was a typical day in the life of Cassandra Matthews. That was until I hit high school. It's my last year and I still haven't had my first boyfriend, nor do I want one.
My friends are more interested in getting me involved in a love life than I am, and will do anything to make it happen. This involves taking the side of Derek, a player and flirt in my school.
The only way to avoid him is to tell him I'm already seeing someone. Who better to say then my first crush, Ashton? He moved away years ago and I could just tell him it was long distance right?
Wrong.
What am I going to do once I find out Ashton's on his way back and I have to convince Derek we're dating?
It was just a little crush and we were best friends, I'm sure he'll go through with it... Right?
