Sometime in the future, the Earth is controlled by one government. Even with such power and control, the government keeps to itself. They never broadcast news about what’s going on. People keep to themselves, live well, and keep the government on the bottom of their list of worries. On the east of a continent with no name (used to be north america) is a boarding school--Rulers of the Affairs of the State Prep (R.A.S.P.) Even with the government at such a distance in the minds of the masses, the school is famous. But no one talks about it. RASP recruits only the best of the best, the smartest of the smart and the strongest of the strong in hopes of creating a capable group of kids ready to tackle the oh so secret government jobs. There’s training in every field imaginable- economics, history, propaganda, marketing, athletics. When Kenly, a witty, clever, slightly arrogant redheaded girl from a run down town is recruited to attend RASPl, she is hardly surprised. Unlike the ignorant people she used to live with (with the exception of her one friend from home) she actually carried around with her some common sense. While everyone from home either congratulated her or glared at her with either looks of jealousy or hatred, she was just ready to leave. As Kenly becomes familiar with the new school, she begins to notice things others don’t—things that make her question the objectives of the school and the government.[

She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes...
Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time. And she's certainly no snitch.
She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos.
She was misjudged and misunderstood.
And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore.
They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline.
She's not going to make it that easy for them.
Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla.
He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well.
But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back.
And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school.
