Max didn't look up at her, not noticing her at all.

Kylie and her friends walked around campus, all talking, gossiping and giggling. That night, the girls all got dressed and went out to a frat party a few blocks down.

Max had been cramming for a test the following morning, getting a text from Kayla that explained she'd gotten back with her ex--leaving him to his thoughts.

Kylie had already studied for her tests while she had been with her mother. She was prepared. So that weekend, Kylie and Jenna, Ali had a final, packed up and went down to the local beach about 15 minutes away.

On her way to class, she stopped at Max's house, leaving the sweatshirt on his front step and drove away to class.
