In the book Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie, many characters went through changes in the way they act and their personalities. Scott is going into high school, with his group of friends. Scott is trying to gain the attention from Julia, his high school crush. When his friend group breaks apart, he has to find a way to make new friends.

If I want to go to the beach, it’s just a 5 minute walk to get there. Because of that, I would go down there weekly during the summer.
