"What happened?" she said, her eyes going wide, lips twitching upwards. "Tell me !"
"Love, that's what happened." I whispered, with a small smile on my face.

Olivia Summers, a normal 17 year old girl, who went to a normal high school with normal stereotypes, living a normal life, or so she thought.
Being an orphan from birth, Olivia never knew what love felt like. Living with a self-centered aunt, who thought of no one but herself and having been through an abusive relationship was normal for her.
Not standing up for herself was normal for her, always feeling a misfit, an outcast was normal for her.
All Olivia ever wanted was to get out of high school anyhow and attend a college, far away from this life she had. The Only thing in her way was her Senior year and memories of her rather dark past.
Life had given her so much disappointment and rejection on every turn, that she lost hope. Hope in love, faith and even happiness.
She started to believe that maybe happiness was never meant for her.
She created walls around her, not because she gave up, but to see who cared enough to break them down.
Almost all of her hope was lost until she crossed paths with Blake McCarthy. The new boy in Hassington High.
Join Blake and Olivia as they go through a maze of trust, happiness, pain, loss, friendships , betrayal, hope and love also known as life.

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?"
