"You don't really believe I'm innocent, do you?" Collins whispered, feeling oddly betrayed despite knowing she'd always been on her own in this.

He looked angry at her, but he didn't have any right to be.

"Or is this some sadistic way you have of getting back at your father for all the love he refused to give you?" She hissed. "Your stupid daddy issues can go straight to hell!"

Vance had her pinned with her back to the huge tree trunk, the storm in his eyes a hurricane as he leaned in close. "Don't push me, Collins. I'll push right back, and you won't like the consequences." 

Collins suddenly found it hard to breathe.

"That mouth of yours, under mine, you remember that? Cause I do, and, no matter all the stuff that's happened since then, I want to taste you again."

***

Collins Estrada had been the object of the town's gossip and speculation for as long as she could remember. She'd come from a tragic past with her brother constantly beside her, giving her the best life he possibly could. It had always been the Estradas against the world.

But as senior year of high school beckons just beyond the long summer months, Collins finds herself the talk of the town once more. Only this time, the reason is much more sinister than before. It seems that recently Collins has been at the center of not one but two disappearances, and all signs point to her as being the common link. 

While Collins isn't complaining that the newfound paranoia in town has given her the space to breathe, the mystery surrounding Collins deepens when a body is found. Suddenly, Collins is named the murderer responsible for the crime, and questions escalate to a chilling height. 

Because Collins didn't kill anyone. 

Someone is trying desperately to frame her, but why? And when Vance Brock, the guy who got away, returns to town, Collins is forced to find an alliance with him to figure out the truth.

- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside.

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.
