Two words was all it took. All it took to change everything. All it took to land her in prison. And all because she wanted to turn her life around, to have a fighting chance in the real world. It was all for nothing. And it was all because of him.
Casey Carson attends a school for child geniuses. Considered the 'Most Prestigious Academy in the North East Region', Crumberlin Private High School is more realistically made up of slackers, liars, cheaters, and the children of billionaires. What better way to achieve a spotless GPA than to fake your report card? But Casey wants more for herself, and her future, than lying and cheating.
That's how she meets socially awkward, but extremely intelligent, Brett Jenkins. Who shows her that what you don't know can, indeed, hurt you.
This action packed novel is filled with secrets, drugs, and a run from the truth.
