Riley Burrows and Kastilia Zeethers, the best of friends. Nothing could sever that friendship: not their enemies, friends, family and definitely not a boy. That was their promise to each other. It doesn't help that Riley's boyfriend has an interest in Kassie, but that doesn't bring the 'sisters' down. The boy is merely forgotten, persistent yes, but forgotten and ignored.
Now step in the the unlikely friends: resident bad boy Ranvier Rivera and local Science prodigy Brandon Morelli. They have nothing in common, but the house they live in, and maybe something else...which the girls are (almost) dying to find out, and keep their dignity and other things intact.
It's the clash between this two sides, to find out who wins in a game called life aka high school. This, however, brings on a strange friendship that neither side expected, but accept.
Secrets and glances were bound to come along in this adventure, but did they have to come during the worse times of their lives and further complicate things?

First original story here, please be nice and comment, I'll be very honored. ;) Because, well, look at the summary. It's not my best work, but I'll improve it once I get into the flow of the story.
Would anyone like to make me a cover too? I would be twice as honored.
