Carter's life revolved around two things: football and being left mostly alone. He doesn't want to be known for who his father is or how good he is at football. When Darcy Winston steps into his life full of riddles and a full blown screw-the-man attitude, he finally meets someone who thinks like he does.
His problem is that their small town of Benton Ridge wants to believe that they're more than just friends. Quite simply, they're not.
Carter's second problem - the one that's arguably more pressing - is the fact that he can't figure out what kind of message Darcy is trying to send to him. She keeps telling him that he's missing something that's right in front of him. One simple fact that he can't seem to wrap his fingers around keeps him around Darcy.

The Opposition
"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind. Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'" Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best.
