"You pick him all the time!" He yelled at me.
"Can we choose who we love?!" I yelled back.
Reveka Brooks has been in love with her best friend, Sam Carter, for years now. She finally thinks he feels the same way because of an incident between them, but everything goes downhill when he does not remember.
"About last night..." I trailed off, hoping he'd know what I was talking about so I won't have to say it myself.
His brows creased in confusion. "What about last night?"
He doesn't remember then. "Nothing," I said hastily.
I wouldn't want to complicate things. He's my best friend, after all.
She's pretty sure of what she feels for Sam, but Eddie comes back and causes her to feel doubt about what she really feels for who. And on top of that, her friend, Ella, is also back, and Sam sees Ella as more than a friend, which pretty much complicates things.
Reveka needs to sort things out before her time runs out, and they aren't as patient as she hopes.
Leon Blackwell was a Senior in high school, the guy that everyone knew, but couldn't tell you a thing about him, the kid that was second at everything. The one who clearly wore a mask but wouldn't let anyone in to see it.
Kiera Yvette was a delinquent with an unknown history. Pretty as a sunset and sharp as a knife it was only another person with a mask, though smoking, and driving a motorcycle seemed the perfect cover to her, and a way to get the attention she wanted.
He didn't want to be seen, she didn't want anyone to know her. She's the rebel who skips class, and he's the quiet kid who couldn't care less. But when her grades slip he becomes her tutor, and things both didn't want to be known came to the light, a place neither wanted to end up. But with a lit match there's only so long before it starts to burn, and with them burning was all they ever knew.
