I suck at descriptions so, sorry. ------- Middleridge is a town in California situated on a vast beach. Years ago the town was split with a barbed wire fence, the poor on the one side and the rich on the other. There is no such thing as middle class here. The poor live on the Maria side and the rich live on the Gorilla side. Melisande has lived all her life in Maria, her family always scraping by with what they have. At a young age her and her brother's intelligence was spotted so they gained scholarships to the school in Gorilla. Gorillaridge High. A private school for the rich and powerful. In a school full of elitists, there has to be a group more elite than everybody else. The ones with the best looks, money and power. They're called the Golden Circle, but Melisande sees them as no more than players. A group of players she hated with her while heart. A group of players she plans n destroying. At this point, everything may sound cliche, nothing more than a girl who wants revenge. But when the dead body of Mandy Hawkins is found, everything goes haywire. -------

Carmen is screwed up. She's been in and out of juvie all her life and seriously there's no place she'd rather be. Until she gets released from juvie unexpectedly, given a probation officer, and forced to live with a normal family and go to a normal school. Carmen doesn't even know the definition of normal. Much less family, or school. Separated from the only system she's known and has stayed constant all her life, she finds it hard to adjust to the world outside the concrete building. The structure and rules aren't the same. In juvie, rules were like opinions, people ignored them. But in the real world, supposedly it wasn't socially acceptable to steal cash, or graffiti the front of the school building. Enter the Harrisons, the family who's taking care of her. The matriarch of the family hates her criminal record. Sammy, the seven-year-old, is too clingy, too innocent, and too naive to understand anything. Then there's Jay, the guy she's forced to share a room with. A self-righteous son of a bitch, Jay doesn't understand Carmen and doesn't understand her self destructive way of thinking. Though he's not bothered by her, he's fascinated with her. The family represents the structure and rules that Carmen doesn't, nor wants to, understand. But as Carmin starts to push back at the structure and rules suddenly rushed into her life, it starts to change. Her whole way of living is thrown off balance, what she deems normal isn't. And through a series of events, she starts to spiral out of control, and she doesn't know if someone can pull her up from that. Carmen was given a second chance, but is it a good chance, or is it just another recipe for getting thrown right back to square one, like she always is? Because second chances don't usually get handed out. And she's about to learn what it means to get a second chance. ____
