        Indiana (Indy) Wilson was left heartbroken after her father walked out on her and her family.
        
        Indiana has always been kind, caring and a goofy person, even after one of the most important people in her life walked out on her and broke her in the worst ways possible.
        
        Austin Reed, he is the hottest guy in Lakeview high. He is the star quarterback and the captain of the football team. 
        
        Austin has always been known as cold-hearted and distant, with his famous death glares and 'I-don't-give-a-fuck' attitude. And there is a reason for him being so cold and distant.
        
        But what happens when Austin starts failing in two of the classes Indiana happens to ace in? 
        
        Austin has no other option but to ask her to tutor him just so that he can play one of the many few important games for the semester. 
        
        What happens when feelings start to form and insecurities take place? 
        
        What happens when walls start to break down?
        
        Join the journey of Austin and Indiana as they go through all sorts of feelings including: love, jealousy and worst of all doubt.

        "What if I am here to stay?" she says, her voice so very soft as she stops in front of me. Her head tilted up to look at me because of how tall I am compared to her.
        
        "What?" I ask, a bit confused and at a loss of words. "Has it ever occurred to you that I am here to stay? That I want to stay? That I'm meant to stay?" she asks.
