"Fuck you Jenna!" He angrily spit it to me. I never thought those words can even hurt me deep down but hell now it is torturing me so much. Shattered vases and frames are covering the floor after he throws it all in the wall. Tears starts to flow down my cheeks. The tears that I am well familiar of. Crying seems to be like my habit since he came barging into my life. Clearly shredding it to pieces. "Just leave me alone!" He said while running his hands into his silky hair. Redness and exhaustion can see clearly in his features now. He deserved that! It just feel so damned wrong being the only one to breakdown and seemed hurt all the time. He have to accept that my life also changed so much because of this fucking arrangement. That it hurts me so much too. "Do you think I have a choice?!" I fired back. "I don't really have a choice.

The traumatizing sight left Aria with nothing but gory nightmares and sweet memories. Now, at the age of seventeen, she stays with her aunt and uncle and spends her days either drawing or painting, wanting nothing but to continue with a normal life. But people don't always get what they wish for. With Miles Prescott as her new neighbour and enemy, having a peaceful day is near to impossible. He's a total jerk, and a complete idiot. But he's also insanely good looking, and of course, that is the reason he's easily dragged into the popular crowd and is immediately labelled as Maple Grove High's bad boy. When the two have their second encounter and Miles ends up soaked in paint, the hate they have for each other only burns more. So what happens when they get caught up in a prank war? Or when a killer gets thrown into the mix?
