Derek was unhappy with his life. Sure, he had Simon, his dad, and Tori on a good day, but something was missing. After moving to yet another school, this one A.R Gurney high school, he meets a girl. Chloe Saunders is irritating, tiny, cute, and smart. And...there is something about her that makes him want to get to know her. What is she REALLY hiding behind that thick armor that keeps everything at bay? And...is she what he's been missing?
