Fettered

Persephone Black, a nihilistic and numb teen, is forced yet again to go to a new school by her strict father. Dulvey High is where all the hick kids go, and where she meets an outcast called Lucas Baker. She instantly takes a liking to him. By a stroke of luck, she and Lucas are assigned a lengthy school project together and his standoffish, scowling nature only intrigues her more. She wants to break through to him but she'll first have to survive the scathing (and oddly exhilarating) rumor mill.
