Emma is a wallflower. She's been that way up until her senior year of high school. She likes seeing things from behind the scenes.
Jared, the new guy at school, is absolutely gorgeous yet mysterious and practically loved by all. Every girl practically swoons over him.
Although he can have any girl he wants he takes a liking to Emma. She can't understand why he does and wants nothing to do with him because all he'll do is bring drama to her drama free life. Even with her protests, Jared is determined to bring Emma out of her shell. By how exactly? Having her do things she would never ever do without reason. But he has reasons. She has yet to know why.
Btw, some of the chapters are short and sweet! This is more of a novella. :)
