PROLOGUE

***********************************
Derrick walked underneath the neon lights of
the movie theater as he held Kathrine's hand.
His sharp edge of a jawline emerged from
the opening of his dark blue hoodie; he didn't
want anyone to see him. Kathrine was
willingly holding his hand even though she
didn't know exactly who Derrick Colten was.
She had just moved into town two weeks ago
and was glad to be making friends. She was
worried that moving at this stage in high
school would ruin every dream she ever had.
But with Derrick, she liked the way he looked,
the way he talked. She felt like it was
somehow a reminder of home. "Maybe this
could be more," she thought.
The only thing on her mind was Derrick.
Because in this moment, all she knew was
that he was warm. His hands weren't rough
as he rubbed her thumb with his. It felt
right... but it wasn't . Derrick had Kathrine
blocked on all social media and told her he
didn't have it. He didn't want Kathrine to see
all of his pictures with Natalie. Kathrine was
the blonde that Derrick always wanted, not
for a relationship but for a night.
Kathrine Woods was a gorgeous girl. Blue
eyes. Full lips. She didn't need makeup, but
she still liked it. She had even considered
starting a makeup blog. At the least, she
would always keep lipgloss on. Her height
was just under 6 feet, just short of Derrick's
6'3". She always wore a hand full of simple
rings, and made sure her white converse
shoes matched everything.
Derrick took Kathrine behind the green
restaurant on the top of the hill where he had
parked his car. He got into the driver's seat;
she got into the passenger seat, but not for
long. Kathrine was attracted to Derrick, but
she wasn't that girl. She had caught onto at
least one thing about Derrick: he wanted
something she wasn't going to give.
He was cheating on Natalie and Kathrine had
no idea. She also had no idea what other
secrets were in this town. This new small
town was full of surprises, and she would be
one of them.
