"Dylan Thorne, wallflower, girl next door, best friend's little sister. All right, best friend might be a bit of a stretch, but Griffin's my roommate, the captain for LAU's hockey team, and a pretty decent guy. His right hand man, however, hates me. Then again, I have a feeling we're both interested in the same girl, so I guess I can't blame him. I'd almost feel bad for being interested in Dylan and stepping on Everett's toes if he didn't have a leg up in the situation, already. Everett's been a family friend of Dylan's for her entire life, and I'm an outsider. I'm also too much of a jerk to back off after Dylan gives me a taste of her innocence. Besides, she's cute when she blushes, and I've never been afraid to go after what I want, even if it means putting my future on the line. And now, I want her.".--
