My life has never been normal. Like ever. My parents, if you can even call them that, gave me up the day I was born.Yeah, great confidence booster! Basically saying I don’t want this kid, even if I did endure 36 hours of labor. And thanks to the wonderful foster kid system, I have been in and out of foster homes all over the city. Currently, the one I’m in now isn’t as bad as some I’ve been in. I mean don’t get me wrong, I would much rather be on my own, but the legal system thinks otherwise. I am 17 people. Maybe it has something to do with my behavior? I AM the bad girl. I say screw the rules and I enjoy being the wild child that nobody wants. That’s what people expect from me, right? Well that’s me, so deal with it. My name’s Riley Evans by the way.

Ever been in love with someone who you know is out of your league? And they barely acknowledge your existence? That’s my current relationship with Taylor Adams. Now I’m what Riley would call a typical good boy. You know good girls? I’m the male equivalent. Never been kissed, still a virgin, and I don’t break the rules. I study and get decent enough grades, no C’s just A’s and B’s and I don’t stay out late and I prefer video games over parties. Call me a wimp, I don’t care. But one day you’ll hear the name Luke Bates and know I’m successful.

Penthouse, loads of money, girls, a high-end sports car, and stellar good looks; I’ve got everything going for me. My mom and dad are the head of the most successful company in the business world, Thompson Inc. And I am their offspring, Zack Thompson. I get everything I want, the girls fall at my feet, and a sweet ride. There are only two downsides to this lifestyle. The first is my parents are always away and leave me alone in the penthouse and there is this one girl who just disses me whenever I ask her out. Riley Evans is different and believes that I’m just a pretty rich kid with no personality other than snobbish. I will prove her wrong. I’m Zack freaking Thomspon. I always get what I want.

Ryder Coleman. The name that makes girls fall to their knees and swoon. The name that makes the other guys jealous. And the name that makes Riley Evans grind her teeth like she’s hearing nails on a chalkboard. It also happens to be my name. I’m the heartbreaker of the school and Riley and I have a…complicated relationship. We hate each other more than Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim hate each other. And that’s a lot if you’ve been living under a rock like Patrick Star. But we also have a lot of hate sex. We don’t understand it either and would prefer if we didn’t have that undeniable connection that we can’t explain nor get rid of. We can’t help that everybody else just doesn’t feel as great as each other. Although we end up wanting to kill each other afterwards. Like I said a complicated relationship.

I enjoy being the queen bee of the school. People don’t walk all over you. They respect the name Taylor Adams. But then it kind of sucks too because no one knows the real you and society has made me kind of a bitch. Okay, so high school has made me a bitch. But it’s a tough world out there. Although there is this kind of sweet guy who has a crush on me that I’ve known since the fourth grade, but I don’t feel that way about him. I just see him as someone I’ll leave alone so the rest of the lions don’t eat him. Who I do have my eye on is Zack Thompson. Totally hot and the complete opposite of Luke. But Zack seems to have his eye on Riley. Dude, Riley obviously is in love with Ryder. Yeah they’ll say they hate each other, but I know about their secret hookups. So how much do they actually hate each other? But don’t tell her because she’ll probably kill me for that. She is the bad girl and I’m the cheerleader. Not exactly a good mix. But even with all this popularity and knowing what’s going on with who and who’s dating this week, no one really understands me.
