September 20, 1989. Westerburg High School, Sherwood, Ohio. Two students arrive to their tenth high school. The pair is seventeen years old, mysterious, witty, and with a certain knack for causing a stir in their schools. Three weeks after her rise to popularity, Veronica Sawyer meets y/n Dean in one of her classes. Shortly after, she discovers her new friend's brother. She can't help but feel an attachment to the new kids. Especially the charming, mysterious bad boy she knows as JD. Him and his sister seem intent on helping her in her bad times. But they choose to do it in the worst way possible. JD does, at least. Y/n might have other plans. Reader's POV. Reader is female. This is NOT an X Reader book. This is based on the musical, but will contain some references or elements from the movie. WARNING: This book contains strong language, underage drinking, violence, murder, and overall dark and/or mature themes, eg. suicide, mentions of abuse (I guess most of these are expected from a book about Heathers). Proceed with caution if any of the above makes you feel uneasy. I do not own any of the characters.
