Ethan VanEvans is your typical 19 year old kid. He's got these penetrating green eyes and an award-winning grin, dirty blonde hair that turns brown when it's wet and always seems a mess when it's not, and cheekbones of steel. He likes gaming, sleeping, eating, and skateboarding, but hates being told what to do, and especially hates it when things going wrong. He doesn't get into that much trouble, he keeps to himself and doesn't over-exert his energy on trivial things. However, he has a secret, a big one that he's kept for years, which he can't fess up for. Not because he doesn't want to, but because it will ruin everything if his best friend finds out.
Aria Gunderson does whatever she wants, as long as she knows she won't get into trouble for it. She doesn't care what people say about her, because she knows the truth. She'll give you the respect you deserve, but only if you respect her first. She can't stand being bored, and if you even mention the state of her hair, you're in for another lecture. After moving back to her suburban hometown after enduring 4 long years of an all-girl boarding school, she reunites with her childhood playmate, Ethan. But when times change, so do people, and sometimes it's not always for the better.
