Free short story. My Once and Future Love series. The high school years. By typical standards, Beth and Jacob should've never been friends, but it's funny what Geometry class and a shared backyard wall can bring about. The first book in this popular series, "An Unlikely Pair: The High School Years" covers Beth and Jacob's friendship before their inevitable kiss and attempt at a relationship in "An Unlikely Pair", and sets up a bond that will last a lifetime.
