17 year old Olivia Matthews or Olly as she's known to friends and family, has finally reached her breaking point. All her life Wyatt Williams would bully her. So she came up with a four step plan to ruin Wyatt's life like he ruined hers. She's a teenage girl driven by the idea of revenge. So she puts her plan to action, returning to her old school as Sawyer Cambridge. 18 year old Wyatt Williams is your typical player jock. He party's almost every night, can drink his weight in alcohol, and has banged about every girl there is. He bullies the weak, and picks on the poor, and doesn't care. He has the schools slut for a girlfriend, and isn't scared of getting in trouble. But with everything he thought he was capable of, he was nowhere near prepared for what Olly was going to do. 17 year old Samantha Matthews is Olly's twin sister, and the schools gossip girl. She has a blog that tells all secrets, the newspaper is run by her, and is so well respected that nobody gets on her bad side, at least not without getting a rumor spread about them. She had a bad history with Wyatt, and is happy to help take Wyatt down a notch, or two, or ten. Wyatt always thought he would always run the school, but little does he know how fragile his rein is when a girl takes it down. And what's worse, he might actually like the girl, more than a bang and flee type of thing.
