This story centers around blonde and beautiful Raina, a high school junior who, along with her two best friends, volunteers at a local hospital in her off time. Raina is on top of the world as she starts her junior year at school. She has her own car, she loves her volunteer work, she has a great boyfriend, Hunter, and two fantastic best friends. Things start to get tricky when Raina and Hunter find themselves getting a little too hot and heavy. Hunter tells Raina that he's having trouble controlling himself sexually when they're alone together.
