"Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm home-bound", Julian starts singing and I hear Brian groan.
"I may be drunk but I still hate this!", he shouts.
"Staring blankly ahead, just making my way, making my way through the crowd", my brother continues, ignoring Brian's protests.
"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. And I need you", Julian sings again.
"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. And I miss you", my brother backs him up again.
"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. And now I wonder", they both sing.
"If I could fall into the sky", I sing along just for fun.
"Do you think time would pass me by", Cole does the same and smiles and he and I laugh when we see that Brian was covering his ears.
"Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you..." We all sing- except Brian. I tap the dashboard, Cole taps the steering wheel while Julian and Randy pretends to play guitars.
"Tonight", we finish- almost shouting and pretend to play our imaginary instruments.

Those are just moments of Ria and the boys hanging out. What kind of shenanigans could happen next?
Ria Scott is a scholar in her newly transferred school. She may be a nerd, but her abilities to make immediate comebacks, to sass and to be sarcastic makes her have a strong character." Don't mess with the Nerd" and "I'd rather Sass than be as Arse" -Ria Scott.
If you think that's all of it, nope. She is fiesty and friends with---BOYS! She prefers them than girl drama. Why?
Because she's different.
With these boys her brother, could she really avoid drama?

"We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world."
Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again.
"What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do."
"No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player."
"It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am."
"And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong."
From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in.
This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved.
It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything.
