But meeting new friends and so much more opportunities are popping up. Life went from uphill to downhill within a second, breezing by too fast for her to comprehend. This was NOT how her junior year was supposed to go, but that could be both a good and bad thing.
The Evans, the gorgeous boys living across the street, aren't making things better. They're nothing but a hot distraction and that's exactly what she's steering clear from, although, when have her plans always went perfectly?
This rich teen is in for a reality check.

Melody's Crush
Aren't one sided crushes fun?

But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down.
