The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

"What?" "Christian, thanks to you, I now understand what people mean when they say you're dark and handsome!" Christian looked smug. "I knew you would eventually."

"You're so lame." Alexander comments as he walks into the kitchen. "Shut up, I don't care." I scoff as I continue to make myself a sandwich. "You know, maybe guys will notice you more once you stop wearing your father's clothes." He teases and at that moment, I turn around to face him and give him a fuming glare. "Leave me alone."

"I want you to be a part of the Anti-Delinquent System." Mr Blythe paces backwards and forth in his office, his expression solemn. "We have five students in this school who have given us a bad reputation, and I want you to help us bring them down. I'm asking you, to catch them in their bad ways. I want you to expose them for their tricks: the ones they've got away with in the past. Only once these five students are removed can Lindale High become a place where education is an accessible opportunity for everyone." Erika Monroe is being recruited to bring down the mysterious Chase Thatcher. Her job? To catch him in the act of something bad, and give the Principal an excuse to expel him. Erika has never been one to turn down an opportunity which could get her a good word for a scholarship, but this time, she's unsure. What if, by trying to catch Chase out, she finds herself caught by surprise? Maybe, the newfound delinquent doesn't need to be tamed. Maybe, he just needs to be saved.

I've been in the same class with him since kinder-garden, yet we've never spoken.There's a perfectly logical reason for that:He was the bad boy and i was the ordinary sort of girl-Its an unwritten rule that our kinds just don't mix, he probably didn't even know i was alive and sometimes i wished he wasn't, having a crush on the bad boy is frustrating. Having a crush on this bad boy is damn near fatality, strenuous.Gaining his attention was impossible,getting noticed,even more so.He was a jerk and i was trying to ignore the attraction.I'd almost given up hope of getting close to him,but that was before i beat up his girlfriend. Now i cant seem to escape,but getting to know the bad boy raised a question:do bad boys have feelings?

Water and Fire, the two opposite elements, when combined, they become neutral. Similarly, love and hate, when mixed feelings, the fine line between them vanishes. However, with the showers of blessings, what will happen when both clashes together? Simple, the love overpowers the hate, forming an everlasting strong love relationship. Rainie Stacey Brooke, the school's bully target, the nerd with the most disappointing academic grades. She gets laughed at, humiliated, teased by the popular clique and jocks in the entire school. Speaking of jocks, Jarrell Harris Watsons is the most popular jock player in school. He screws around, just for the sake of 'fun'. When both of them met under a rainy day, Rainie snatches the jock's umbrella, and that's when her life starts changing drastically. It's a typical love story, with a pinch of cliché.

"First things first, learn how to loosen up. If you really want to learn, you can't be so uptight." He said as he circled around me. "It's just weird, I'm not used to it." I said shyly. He stopped, standing in front of me. He sighed. "Look Gracie, I'm not saying you should be totally open and comfortable with this, but I'm saying, if you want to learn, you're going to have to learn to trust me. Do you trust me?" I hesitated, then nodded lightly. "Good." He said with a small smirk. "Now lesson one," he started to circle me again, "You're going to learn how to kiss." (cover by: BeautyDoesntWither)
