A real-life prince. Like of a country. And he’s not one of those ugly ones with big teeth that girls only like because he’s royal. No, he’s hot. On fire. I’m drooling just thinking about him. But that’s the problem, because the only reason my parents took him in is because they don’t think there’s any way a guy like him could crush on a girl like me.

Ever since coming out, Xi’s parents have been her biggest cheerleaders, pushing her to join the Emerson Pride Association and making the community a better place for people like her. Now, she’s got the huge responsibility of planning Emerson Academy’s first ever inclusive prom to take place after the town’s very first pride parade, even though she’s never had a girlfriend date of her own.

Everyone knows that if you want a Christmas wish to come true, you go to Garland, Maine, and make a wish as the star is placed on top of the tree in Cider Center. And this year, I made an impossible wish–that all of my friends and I would fall in love before the holiday was over.

Terrell had his last basketball season at Emerson Academy all planned out. Step one, win the state championship. Step two, get recruited by the best colleges in the nation. Step three, play in college and then go pro. But life had other plans. When all the other starters on the team are kicked off for being caught at a party, he’s left playing with freshmen who've never seen varsity playing time.

I’m babysitting two little girls while their mom works and their dad’s deployed. Their mom asked me to keep them busy serving others so they don’t have time to miss their dad. I’m all for it… until I realize the charity she signed us up for is managed by the Scrooge-iest guy in town.

It’s the first day at my new school and I already have a "wide load" sticker on my back. But this is still better than life was before. Before I was taken away from my parents. Before I moved in with my grandma. Before I met Jon Scoller. He’s cute, he lives down the street, but the guy asks way too many questions. Questions about a past I’d rather forget.

My parents spend every Christmas in the hospital. My dad is a charge nurse, and my mom’s a doctor. And me? I’m their disappointing daughter who faints at the sight of blood and can never imagine wearing scrubs to work every day. We spend every Christmas at the hospital because injuries and illnesses don’t take a day off, and every year I feel bad for the people there. So this year, I’m going to do something about it.

It’s been the craziest year of my life, and celebrating graduation with Jon just makes it all feel real. Like, maybe, I can have my happily ever after. But then, Grandma hands me a graduation card. And there’s no address on it. No signature. Just six words from a complete stranger that turn my life upside down. I’m supposed to be getting ready for college. Dealing with moving away from my friends after actually finding some. Enjoying my relationship with Jon. But, maybe, all of that is the least of my worries. Because, I know one thing for sure: Someone is out to get me.

Emerson Dance is one of the most prestigious dance companies in the country. And I got kicked off the team right before nationals because my curves don’t “fit.” Not their idea of a perfect dancer's body and definitely not their costume. I’m going to enter the competition on my own and show them that every body is a dancer’s body. It will mean practicing in the gym with the bodybuilders, but I can shove my nerves—and my attraction to Carter McCormac—aside long enough to win.

I know a lot about fashion, and having your brother’s best friend babysit you while your family's out of town is not a good look. Especially since I’ve wished every year on the Christmas star that Kane could see me as more than the dorky kid sister of his best friend. And every year my wish doesn’t come true. But he made a promise to my brother to look after me, so I’m stuck spending more time with him than ever before. At first, I think it will be easy to ignore my feelings for him with a major deadline for my dream fashion program looming.
