I'm perfectly normal, at pretty much everything.

Average looks, average family life, average social life, average grades.

Oh, and completely, perfectly normal love life, which is to say my love life is non-existent.

Hi, I'm Olivia Asher, sophomore at Lakewood Conservatory. And yes, I know what you're thinking. No, it's not some super fancy prep school that you read about in sappy teen romances...

Okay, it's a prep school, but trust me, it's not what you're thinking.

Anyway, pushing past prep school debating, I'm about to start my second year of high school- which I would do quite literally anything to avoid. To say I hate school would be an understatement, a woeful understatement.

Who would willingly put themselves through snotty cheerleaders, misogynistic athletes and basically a colder version of hell?

Apparently, everyone who can afford it.

Either way, this isn't a good thing...

really it isn't...

yeah...

Or at least, that's what I had expected.

But what I hadn't banked on?

Christian Ledger.

But I'm starting this all wrong, because this story really begins on the last day of summer.
