Meredith Safford suffers from anxiety-attacks. And they are pretty bad.
Despite that, she does have a 'safe spot' and it's where the sun shines the brightest, where the grass is the greenest, where it's softest, it was the only place that made her feel safe-until she finds out that place is also accompanied by the mean, cocky, arrogant, loved quarterback, Shawn Matson.
How, how, how lovely. The two don't get along-obviously since Shawn's first words to her were pretty insulting. And it doesn't help the fact that he's been making endless, stupid, attempts to 'pick-up' Meredith. And as far as Meredith knows, Shawn is a self-absorbed, girl-trasher, jerk, who is incapable of loving anyone. He is. Isn't he?
Soon Meredith's world takes a turn when her mother introduces her to Scott Christen who seems like the perfect prince charming. He's nice, kind, and sweet. He also obviously takes a liking to Meredith but is this all a charade to win her family wealth...or is it truly sincere?
But here's the question:
Which us, is that place in our hearts?
Have fun in reading this so cliché story, but I mean, who doesn't like cliché's?
