As she begins to work with the cast, Jan and Kerry develop a friendship that soon grows into something more, which doesn't go unnoticed by the arrogant male lead, Kent. When Kent spreads rumors throughout the whole school, Jan and Kerry become the center of another kind of witch hunt-one that threatens to destroy their new relationship and their self-worth.

And even though it's clearly labeled as such but I still feel I need to say this is a mature girlxgirl story so there will be sex. Also don't read if you have a problem w/ the word fuck because I use it quite liberally.Complete
