Every summer he and his younger siblings Drew and Rachel, and I would get together and spend it at my Aunt Sookie's Malibu beach house. So when I moved in with my Aunt Sookie and transferred to Nat's school Hidden Falls High, I thought he would be happy. Only he wasn't. Little did I know...the most popular boys at Hidden Falls High thought I was easy target. The new girl. The girl who didn't belong...and they happened to be Nat's best guy friends, The Knights of Hidden Falls High (#HFH). Little did they know this girl isn't someone who would be easily crushed.
