Zaida Roberts considers herself a loner. Most of her friends graduated leaving her to survive the last two years of high school alone. When her English teacher pairs her with Levi Sykes, a boy living in a halfway house outside of town, she wants nothing more than to get it over with. But the two realize they have more in common. Will Levi be able to break Zaida from her loner title or is he just another classmate who needs a good grade?
