Characters/ A.N

Joey Birlem has the definition of a perfect life. He lives in the most expensive house, he's rich, he's popular, and he could get any girl he wanted. His life could be described as neat, clean, and sophistacted.

His next door neighbor, Olivia Rivera is quite the opposite. Her household is filthy, obnoxious, and disorderly. Her Mom works at the local diner as a waitress and her Dad is a junkie and took off by the time she was four. She has two siblings and is poverty-stricken.

These two polar opposites have been neighbors for twelve years and never said two words to each other. That is until the summer before sophomore year comes around and everything changes for the contractive pair.
