I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

Kassidy Falls is your average girl; Jared Staal is the last of the Staal brothers waiting for his break into the NHL. When he enrolls in Lockerby High School the two meet, and while Kassidy is at first tentative they become fast friends.

Kassidy doesn't know it, but Jared soon finds himself falling for the quiet, shy girl who he finds excuses to spend time with. At the same time he doesn't want to ruin the fledgling friendship that they are building, especially not when he knows that when the school year ends he could be thousands of miles away.

Jared doesn't know, and Kassidy doesn't want to recognize that her feelings are slowly changing for her new-found friend as well. Can this relationship stand the tests that high school life, family pressures as well as Jared's impending draft to the NHL hold for them?
