Their parents and a gang who don’t want them to be together. But before all that happened Julio was just a new guy in town. He moved from Crispi,Texas where everything was just perfect to him and when his parents told him devastating news about moving to Cincinnati his whole world comes crashing down. When he got to Cincinnati he was depressed because everything seemed “gray” to him and he hated it. Unlike Romiette she grew up in Cincinnati so she was used to it and she was somewhat popular her best friend Destiny believed in soul mates so Romiette told her about the Terrifying dream she’s been having and at the end of the dream she hears a voice so automatically Destiny thinks it’s her soul mate calling her. So one evening on a chat room both Romiette and Julio were on the chat room with a few other people and they kind of bonded and they realized they lived in the same city and went to the same school so the following day they met up for lunch and fell head over heels. The second day they met up for lunch a gang warned them with a look and after they don’t listen they cause a whole bunch of problems and having their parents not wanting to see each other anymore because they went missing and no one knows what happens. Do you think they will be together in the end?
