Of course, Layken understands that he needs to take care of Caulder but with each passing day that her feelings for Will grow stronger, she can’t help but get mad at him because he can’t even fight for what they’re feeling.

Layken and Will immediately develop an attraction with each other and they are getting along well until Layken finds out that Will is actually her teacher. Here, she meets their new neighbors, Will and Caulder, who she and her brother, Kel, instantly become friends with. After losing her dad, Layken and her family moved from Texas to Michigan.
