Ariella Lynch is special. Well, that's the nice way to put it. As long as she can remember, Ari has always loved playing ball more than dress up. And because of this, Ari is bullied, abandoned, and betrayed at a very young age.
At the age of 13, her parents got divorced. She left with her dad and brothers to Florida and there she learns how cruel humans can be. With traumatic experiences, Ariella struggles with trust issues, anxiety, and depression yet hides it with a confident facade.
After a long four years, Ari moves back to California. Ariella's been through too much and going to Ridgewood High, she does not want any more attention. But fate never really did like her. She stands out like a blotch of gold on a black canvas and from her very first day, she captures the attention of the 3 most popular boys of Ridgewood.
Ryan Black, the boy with a bad past and a worse future.
Luka Rays, the boy who was never loved and so chooses not to love in return.
And Noah James, the boy who pretends to be someone he's not.
The Bad, The Player, and The Famous.
Everyone has their story to tell. The question isn't if they can, it's if they will.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
