Tyson Williams has demons to battle with. Growing up in a run-down neighborhood, he learned to rely only on himself. The sole person he enjoys talking to is his childhood friend Angel; everybody else he simply disregards. That is until he runs into a cocky foreign brunette, whose provocative attitude makes it impossible for him to ignore her. Having a bad reputation can get you into a lot of trouble with your parents. Having a bad reputation when your father is a politician and constantly under the paparazzi's watchful eyes can make it ever worse. In an attempt to save face, Alex's parents sent her to finish her Senior year in another country. Dispossessing her is not a first for them, but this time Alex doesn't mind; this time she's all too happy to leave a certain someone behind and start anew. So she makes a decision: she'd mend her wild ways and try to be a good girl... or at least some semblance of that term. But how is she to follow through with her resolution when she's constantly being challenged by one of her new classmates? **** • Best rating for this story so far: Humor #18, Teen Fiction #29 • Completed • Draft • Proofread • © 2018 Dilyana Kyoseva (CatMint5) All Rights Reserved
