Ember Thore, needed her space. After what happened with her former friends, she stopped trusting easily.
She wanted to be loved, but she didn't want to ever go though heart break again.
She wanted to have fun, let free, and enjoy life. However, she wasn't ready for reality.
Most of all, she wanted revenge on her ex boyfriend, and the girl he cheated with. Her own best friend, well ex-bestie.
The glue that held the plan together was him. The one guy that she was dreading to team with. He most likely hated her guts, after the countless bad encounters they had.
Ryder Woods. The notorious bad boy, also know as Fucktard. He being on the opposite end of the spectrum, was going to be a struggle to get.
He was popular, and populars don't mix with the "norm" but fingers crossed this one will.
