''Tangent Points - Points on a line that cross paths once, then never meet again.'
Dysfunctional individually in their own ways, they somehow are functional as a group, you'll never see one without the other, and the other, and so on and so forth. They're essentially a family who need each other.
Like all people, they all make mistakes, and sometimes never agree with their family, but at the same time, they learn and begin to appreciate the lessons that come with the mistakes.
Many, many pieces will become vital to this family. To them, life was like a rollercoaster ride. Just as long as they had people riding with them, they knew they would be okay. However, some of them start to wonder whether or not this bond will last forever. There is no such thing as forever; the days are numbered for a reason.

The beginning of Summer 2019 is somewhat a rocky start for these seven friends, for some of them at least. On a high note, two of the seven, John and Andre, rekindle a connection to an old friend from their elementary school days, Nicholas.
Nick seemed like the final piece of the puzzle, needed to complete this family.
Little did they know, he was just the beginning, this family of friends will rapidly grow throughout the remaining years of their young lives. Seven will become eight, eight will become nine, and so on. Their family is constantly growing.
However, their Summer takes a turn of events, when Andre and Marjorie, another two of the seven, meet a certain girl with red hair, that unbeknownst to them, will become a very important piece to their family.

An internal voice whispered, "Call him."
But I chose not to.
I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway."
Yet the dilemma lingered.
"But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different."
Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine.
I averted my gaze, pretending to look around.
"Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god."

After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect.
But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred.
He was always there, always keeping her safe.
He used to annoy her endlessly.
She hated him deeply. Until she didn't.
For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down.
Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew.
Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again.
"Ethan..."
He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew.
When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light.
But now, things are different.
She despises him.
He's colder than ever.
Or perhaps she fears him.
Fears that he'll leave her again.
Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured?
"Maybe?"
"Maybe yes. Maybe no?"

### Notice:
This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing. If you're interested in the storyline, please don't judge me too harshly based on this book. Better stories are on the way-I'm still learning and improving every day.
