"Every song has its own tempo, and some just don't sync, no matter how hard you try. That's not an indictment on either song, though - they're just different. No one expects a beautiful remix to come out of The Beatles and Eminem.
Well if I'm The Beatles, then Jonah Whitney is Eminem."
Renee and Jonah are next-door neighbors who never seem to get along. But secretly, she dons the suit of Ursa, their high school's lovable mascot, to cheer Jonah on at his basketball games. The two begin to bond, and she realizes that there may be more to him than she previously thought.
But he doesn't know Ursa's true identity - no one does. When Renee takes off the mascot suit, she must pretend that nothing has changed between them. Will she be able to keep the secret? And what will happen if she can't?

I roll my hand into a fist and send it flying into his jaw." ***** For most of her high school career Hazel Monroe has been content with playing a backseat role in school politics. Growing up in a trailer park meant she learned early on to fly under the radar and never aim above her station. If it meant hiding behind the weight of her mask as team mascot, putting the bare minimum amount of effort in her academics and keeping her circle so small it was virtually non-existent then so be it. But after a violent mishap at a party, she was never invited to in the first place, she sets into motion a series of events that thrust her back into an unfamiliar world of parties, old school rivalries, and boys. Which makes things especially complicated since the boy in question was her ex-best friend Darnell J. Washington. [DRAFT]Complete
