Ace's Girl

He removed his hand from my chin, and slowly slid his fingers down until they reached the red hickeys he left on me.

"How pretty" he whispered, as he slowly rapped his hand around my neck.

My stomach started to flutter. The dark look in his eyes made me feel tingly.

I liked the feeling.

Trinity Smith is a shy, sheltered, and somewhat innocent, 17 year old, African American girl, with a sweet but controlling mother who has made it a point to keep her from enjoying the freedoms of a teenager.

Having secrets was a no
Alcohol was a no
Coming home later than 5 was a no
Boys weren't allowed
Kissing the opposite sex was unimaginable
And sex......... was absolutely forbidden

But this year, Trinity is going to her dream school, Harpview High, which happens to be a prestigious boarding school.

As the new girl, and one of the few African Americans attending, she has to overcome bullying, and her classmates, who make it a point, to make her life a living hell.

Alan Mcarthy, the schools smoking hot "badboy ", also known as Ace, has been labeled, what her momma calls "a player". He seems to always invade her thoughts, and she doesn't know why.

Will Trinity get through the school year without the guidance of her mother? Will the school hierarchy mess with her new relationships? Will Alan stir things up, or will a secret Gossip Girl interfere with Trinity's new found freedom?
