And Then He Pressed Play: Track Two

Everybody says senior year is the best time in your life, but A.J. Walker would trade it for another chance at grade eleven in a heartbeat. The fact that time keeps moving forward should be a good thing. After all, Bren O'Shea promised they'd be together again. But a lot can happen in a year, and even if things don't fall apart, they still live on two different continents.

Imagine A.J.'s surprise when a familiar red-haired boy shows up at Peacock Collegiate on the first day of class. With the two of them together, it's all A.J. can do to keep from losing himself in dreams of what senior year might look like: Bren's first Canadian winter, trips to the family cabin, and matching suits at graduation.

But there's no hiding from the Irish certs, even when they're an ocean away, and Mrs. O'Shea isn't about to let her son risk his future on a lark. He needs to ace every one of his classes or he's on the first plane back to Glenbridge.

Bren is a lot of things, but a straight A student isn't one of them. And even if he was, what might happen now that he's put that kind of pressure on himself?
