Why wasn't I moving anymore? I'd fallen still, confused over what I should do. My gaze lifted off my body and found the boy, stealing the breath from my throat when he smirked my way, tossing two fingers up in the air. "Hi," I caught from his lips. Helplessly, I become tangled in his softly spoken greeting, taking that first leap toward the captivating boy tucked in the corner. I decided he was gorgeous enough to be my distraction. My own little obsession until I stepped out of the shelter of that pretend world we were all acting out in.

In the middle of the teenage chaos, she comes across a tattooed boy named Sawyer. He's absurdly tall, with crystal blue eyes that could tempt any good girl into bad decisions. From the moment they meet, he takes it upon himself to make sure Maren knows he doesn't like her. And he has his reasons. All she has to do is get past this bad boy and uncover the secrets he's buried deep inside. Before long, Maren and Sawyer are thrown onto an emotional roller-coaster of a relationship that's bound to wreck a few lives.

You grew up two streets over from Wren and spent four years loving her in the exact same silence she loved you in. After she left town with a packed car and a plan, you held onto the last message she sent, a photo of trees through a dorm window, and told yourself she was just busy. Then her sister calls from the hospital at ten at night. Wren is out of surgery but asking for you, and that request is about to drag everything you never said out into the open.

You've spent three years learning not to think about Seraphina. Then she walks back into your campus coffee shop, charcoal on her cheek and a sketchbook in her arms, and every wall you built starts to crack. She left without a word. You stayed, keeping a shoebox of trinkets and letters you never mailed. Now she's back, and she's left you her number on a torn corner of paper, signed with a star the way she used to sign your notes. Calling means letting her in. Ignoring it means letting her go. Again.
