Alexandra Berrington: the high school punk and troublemaker - the one who scares even the toughest of teachers and students. She is high school royalty, and anyone who forgets their place is stepped on. Most think she was born without a heart - only a black hole of cold anger where there should be compassion. Like all teenagers, Alex is just trying to make it to graduation and live the life she wants. That wish seems far off when her abusive ex-boyfriend shows up. With a nerd getting closer and closer to discovering her darkest secrets, graduation is the last thought on her mind. For once, Alex will choose, but this choice could be her last.
