To her parents. To her old school. To her friends. But in one short week, Hartfield has become more of a home to Melinda than the place where she spent the first thirteen years of her life.

When boys start showing her attention, Melinda has to learn how to balance a relationship into her already hectic schedule. And her life at boarding school is just beginning…
