New York City without power, without transportation and without communication. How powerful is the sun? Abby Turner finds out the hard way when a school trip to the Museum of Natural History seems like nothing more than an opportunity for her to spend some quality time with her crush, the artistic Matt Murphy, until a natural disaster strikes altering life as we know it. **This is a first draft of a work in progress. Any thoughts or comments about it will be greatly appreciated. (I promise I am doing my best to grow the thickest of skins!)***

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
