sweet ending

Julia doesn't even fit in with the crowd in Sullivan High School. In fact, she doesn't even care what they think. Until, she falls for Austin and Austin's best friend, Lucas started spreading rumors about her past- which is of course is not true. Austin don't know who to believe or trust. In the end, he supported Lucas, and sort-of betrayed Julia. She felt so hurt and so betrayed that she doesn't even want to see him anymore until she learn to feel how he felt. A definite sweet ending and romantic too. I like it!

Sweet.

Julia and Austin care about each other, but his friends treat her like garbage. Why does he still stand up for them and pretend that they aren't together? A story about love, complications, frustrations, and mixed feelings.
