Billie Shelton is a 17-to-be-18-year-old girl at Westerburg High School in Sherwood, Ohio. Her friends praise the Heathers, or as she likes to call them, the bitch clique. She, however, likes to be independent and have her own say in the student body. That's exactly why she became a valued member of the Westerburg School Paper. She can be a journalist, putting out both facts and her own personal outlook. Of course, some things change. She finds herself tangled in with a new guy, a kid named Jason Dean. He's everything she thought she would never fall for; a hoodlum from Hell, real twisted, but real smart. When she falls for his madness, she changes. She becomes a person that even she herself doesn't recognize. ❝He was taller than me, had a darker sense of humor than me, wore darker clothing than me, and overall he seemed to have a darker mind than me.❞
