Locker 247: Right Person Wrong Time - Young Adult Romance

Nora Sullivan has watched Dylan Cross and Vanessa Maxwell make out against locker 248 for two years. Every. Single. Day. They laugh when she asks them to move so she can get to her locker-247, right next door. They think it's hilarious. Nora thinks they're insufferable.

They weren't always strangers, though. Once, Nora and Dylan were inseparable childhood best friends, until the rigid lines of high school status and peer pressure tore them apart. Dylan climbed the social ladder, and Nora became invisible-a casualty of his popularity.

Until the day Vanessa's cheating explodes into a screaming match in the middle of C-hall, and the Golden Couple shatters in front of the entire school.

Nora escapes to her favorite quiet lunch spot, ready to avoid the drama. Instead, Dylan slides in next to her-devastated, furious, and ranting like they've been friends forever. She doesn't comfort him. She doesn't fawn over him. She just listens, then tells him the truth: Vanessa never deserved him anyway.

Three weeks later, Dylan's single and finally noticing the girl who's been three inches away this whole time. The girl with paint on her hands and zero interest in his reputation. The girl who sees through his cocky smile to the vulnerable person underneath-the boy she used to know.

But Nora's spent two years being invisible to Dylan Cross. She's not about to become his rebound, or risk her heart on the boy who chose popularity over her-even if he's finally starting to realize she's everything he actually needs.
