So the main character, Nora, is in school and she sits with her bestie in biology until Coach, their teacher, decides to change the seating chart. And she ends up sitting next to this senior transfer student. He's never said a word in class, but their assignment is to observe their lab partner. She finds out his name is Patch. He's actually kind of an ass to her, but she has to do the assignment and she reluctantly calls him and he mentions that he's busy at some place playing pool...well she drives the 30 minutes there and confronts him and what not. It's weird, it's like he's playing hard to get, but not at the same time. It's entertaining. Then there's another transfer student, Elliot, and he immediately he jumps at the chance to try and get with Nora. Nora and her best friend Vee decide to hang out with Elliot and his his 6'10'' tall friend Jules...giant much? But Jules always seems to be disappearing.
Nora keeps seeing a hooded figure and it's always giving her the creeps. Not to mention the time that she thought she ran over someone and then the figure stood up and started to rip her car door off when she tells Vee, the door is suddenly normal and she's puzzled. Needless to say, she's a little paranoid.
She keeps having encounters with Patch, and one day in her counseling session with the school psychologist, Ms. Greene says that Nora needs to stay away from Patch and that he's trouble. She admits to herself that he scares the shit out of her, but at the same time she has this strange attraction to him.
