Bio: A bright girl with an adoration for animals and books, Avery is Standford bound for a double major in Literature and Veterinary Sciences. She is the pretty girl in the corner with a smile on her face at all times. But behind every forced smile is a story, and this is Averyās. Growing up in Pittsburgh, she had two parents who barely had time for her and only time for their careers. Avery was shoved into a Catholic prep school, and was pushed and pushed to be the absolute best. Avery did everything - she joined sports teams, took up piano and painting, and maintained top marks not only in her grade, but in her entire school. As the stress of being perfect to earn her parents love became overwhelming, Avery resorted to making herself throw up in the girlās stall out of pure self loathing. As much as Avery stressed to be perfect, she never was good enough for her parents. Eventually, her parents gave up on her and shipped her across the continent to live out her last two years of high school before she goes to college.
Avery is the girl at parties having a great time with alcohol. Sheās on the schoolās Division One tennis team, sings in the schoolās choir, while actively participating in Student Council, Arcadiaās Art Club, and maintaining straight Aās. Still under a lot of stress, Avery has tried her best to forget about her bad habit by throwing herself into music. Nearly every day for her first two weeks in Arcadia, Avery was in the local record store, losing herself in her headphones and the endless racks of vinyl. Eventually, Adam Lewis gave her a job, and now she practically runs the record store with him. Although many expect Avery to act out of her strict morals, she doesnāt - a hopeless romantic from all her love songs and romance novels, Avery is waiting for her prince charming to sweep her off her feet and grace her with her first kiss. So who is that going to be - her best friendās ex boyfriend, or that cute soccer player that keeps coming into her store?

Your eyes whispered āHave we met? ā Across the room, your silhouette starts to make its way to me. The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks, like passing notes in secrecy.
A few passing glances in the hallway. Eyes meeting in the record shop, in the diner. Hands touching as she passes his bag of newly bought vinyl to him, or when he hands her a coffee. Biting his lip as he watches her walk away. A soft smile spreading across her lips as she downcasts her eyes, wondering if he felt it too. That spark. The smallest of flames inside of them. Intrigue. Wonder. Awe.
Avery and Tanner have no idea why they spend so much time thinking about the other when they donāt even know each otherās names - besides, Avery is battling a crush that she has on her best friendās ex. So why is she even slightly interested in the soccer captain she knows from around school, but canāt remember his name for the life of her? And why is Tanner, the guy with every girl wrapped around his finger, the boy who has a fuck buddy every Friday night and a party to go to every Saturday night even slightly interested in the girl with the purity ring? Passing glances and accidental touches will eventually lead to introductions for these two, which will only slowly build to more. So will Avery and Tannerās love slowly be nursed to one of the most beautiful bonfires of passion the world has ever seen, or will they be a firework show - big, loud, obnoxious, and then over in the blink of an eye.
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you.
