Best i never had - jeannie choe

Senior year of high school seems like an entire lifetime ago when youre an adult adjusting to real-life responsibilities and real-life heartbreak.

When Hayden Marshall and Natalia Marquez run into each other on the busy streets of New York City, hundreds of miles away from their hometown and years after their high school graduation, it seems kismet is more common than either one of them thought.

While Natalia is going through the ups and downs of a post-breakup slump, Hayden has his own set of personal woes that bring the two to one single-minded conclusion: they are lonely.

But when they strike up a deal to ease those bouts of loneliness, old feelings start to resurface.

Feelings that were kept hidden during the small moments in a crowded classroom and glimpses in school hallways.

Feelings that start to burst at the seams when all of the tricky emotions begin to intertwine within their complicated lives and rekindled friendship.

But when they slowly learn whats at stake, neither Natalia or Hayden knows if its worth the risk.

To lose a friendship they didnt realize they couldnt live without or to take a chance on something great.
