Author's Note

Hetty is a reserved and studious high school freshman. Ryan is an attractive and outgoing senior who is also surprisingly sensitive. What starts out as friendly chit chat soon leads to secretly touching hands under the table during film class. As their bond grows deeper, neither of them have confessed their true feelings to anyone -- not a best friend, their parents or even each other. Will Hetty be allowed to date a guy three years older? Is love more powerful than society's rules and expectations?
