Aliza:
It’s 1993, and I’m just months from graduation.
I have it all, designer clothes, a dance career, a popular boyfriend.
I should be happy.
But with my mom always on my back and my boyfriend who is just as suffocating, I feel stuck.
My dream of moving to California? Just another plan that isn’t really mine.
I live a privileged life. My future is mapped out. My life is set…
I should be happy,
but I’m not.
Matt:
Dreaming was never my thing. With my grades in freefall, even graduation’s uncertain.
A future in construction, same as my dad… that’s enough for me.
Life is simple. Life is easy.
I never anticipated a run-in with the school's queen bee, Aliza Hollister, that fateful night. And I don’t expect to ever see her again—not in my neck of the woods, anyway.
When fate throws us together once again, I’m left second-guessing everything.
But messing with a girl like Aliza is just stupid, right?
She’s got the world at her feet, and I’m just trying not to trip over mine.
There’s only one way this ends.
Or maybe, just maybe, it doesn’t have to.
