PROFILE:
Zoe Claire McAdams - activist; spoiled brat; know-it-all; campus' no. 1 bully; her family's pain in the ass
Theodore Campbell - unknown
• • •
Ever since Zoe was evicted from LA and had to - forced to - continue her studies in New York, she became the campus' most hated person in the planet. She founded an activist group, a first ever activist group with only two members: she and her no-choice so-callee bff Alyssa. She led some infamous acts in and out of the campus and is often get herself into trouble.
She met Theo, a transferee from unknown planet, from one of her usual morning habits: vandalizing around campus.
Thinking she finally found another prospect member of her imprudent activist group, she persuaded him to join her "club". She used to pester him day and night until she finally got his attention: with a dry look on his face and an emotionless stare, Zoe took it as a positive response.
Theo, not really paying attention on the persistent girl, whose name he could not recall, just let her waste her time and energy following him everywhere. He knew eventually, she would get tired, like all those irritating girls who kept following and drooling after him in the past and even in his present campus.
But Zoe would not get tired. She kept shadowing him everywhere and all the time, until it was him who got tired - taking her for granted.
Before he could notice it, he was falling dangerously hard on the girl he never knew existed until he noticed her on that sad, rainy evening. Why does lonely moment has to have rain in it?
Restricting the world from getting into his life and keeping his identity undisclosed, how can he pursue his feelings for her when the rest of the world declines about them being together? How can he fight for his feelings for her when he needs to hide his true identity from the public to keep his freedom?
And when he has to choose between his freedom and Zoe, what will be his choice?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
