Samantha Goldstein and David Fischer have been friends ever since they met on their town’s Little League baseball team. But when a new kid named Luke starts hanging out with David, the old friendship suddenly starts to feel . . . different.

Luke’s comments make Sammie feel uncomfortable and weird—but when David sees how easily Luke flirts with Sammie, he decides to finally make a move on the friend he’s always had a crush on. Soon things go all wrong and way too far, and Sammie and David are both left hurt and confused, without anyone to talk to about what happened.

As rumors start flying around the school, David must try to make things right (if he can)—and Sammie must learn how to speak up about what’s been done to her.
