Prologue

Everyone knows that growing up is hard, and life is no easier for high school junior Nadine, who is already at peak awkwardness when her all-star older brother Darian starts dating her best friend Krista. All at once, Nadine feels more alone than ever, until an unexpected friendship with a thoughtful teen, Nick gives her a glimmer of hope that things just might not be so terrible after all.

*P.S. In the movie, Nick is rude and ends up not being with Nadine. This story focuses more on Nick and Nadine*
