I had unrequited love down to a tee. I knew Callum Vernon was just waiting for the right moment to sweep me off of my feet. What I didn't expect was a small box, alcohol, and Dante Luckland to screw everything up.

Katherine(Katy) Colton has always been in love with her childhood best-only-friend Mason James but when she finally finds the courage to confess he rejects and humiliates her in front of the whole school leaving her doomed to be an outcast. Although Katy now believes is time for a new start and the moment she sets eyes on Ryder Jacob, she is determined to befriend this bad boy.

I'm still technically married. I still technically wear my wedding ring. It's on a chain around my neck. With his. He still won't sign the divorce papers. I still don't want him to.

Unrequited crush since the start of middle school is not something she's proud of. As a senior now, she wants to move on but it's like he has a radar and keeps reeling her in. So she tries everything she can: jealousy, proximity and maybe if she's bold enough, even flirting. If it doesn't work, maybe she'll give up on him.

I told myself time and time again that he'll never love me in the way I want him to, and if he wanted to love me at all, he would. I didn't want to be that lovestruck puppy dog. I'm not clueless to think that he even wants me around, and so I didn't show. If he missed me, he'd try to find me.
