JellybeanFrosting
It's the last year of school and as if matters couldn't get any worse, a student plummets to her untimely death. But why did Elaine care? Because her best friend was being accused of it.
She knows he didn't do it. How could he? Poor thing couldn't even order pizza right.
But no one else believes her. Why would they? She was nothing but a scholarship student lucky even to breathe the same air as the spawn of the ultra-rich.
No one else but Uriel, the school's resident enigma, for reasons known only to him.
Forced into an alliance, she tries to prove her friend innocent. But along the way, she uncovers truths about the community around her, linked to her foggy past and realizes how far the wealthy are willing to go to ensure their secrets remain just what they are.
Secrets.
