"I'm going to break your heart"
"then break it. Aurora I would rather fall in love with you and have you fuck me over a thousand times than picture a life without you. I would rather you rip my heart out, stomp on it, spit on it, and tell me to go fuck myself than have you walk away and never come back. Aurora, I never believed in love. I never understood how someone could be completely and utterly consumed by another person, until I met you."
"Aurora May, I'm in love with you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aurora is slowly being consumed by her thoughts; constant impulsiveness, unpleasant ideas, overwhelming numbness. But, the part that scares her the most isn't the thoughts themselves, that would make anybody's gut wrench, a grown mans skin crawl, no. It would be her acceptance of the idea of finally drowning within herself and being more than okay with it; welcoming it...that's what scares her.
Chase is learning how to adjust to his new life. Going from living in a one bedroom apartment with his father, in Downtown Brooklyn, to moving in with his stepmother, in Upper East Side Manhattan, isn't easy. Switching from an "I do what I want, when I want" attitude, to feeling like the smallest of mistakes will cause your family to crumble, makes him feel suffocated.
What happens when the girl, who seems to have it all, meets the boy, who used to have nothing? What happens when minuscule glances turn to feather-like kisses and gentle touches? What happens when two "opposites" start to realize they have more in common than they once thought? When two rich kids, both struggling in different ways, start to find comfort within each other?
"What are you doing here?" I ask but it comes out as a sob. I don't want him, or anyone for that matter, to see me like this. I'm a wreck. Wyatt doesn't seem to mind though.
He softly brushes the remaining tears from my face with his thumb. "I saw you run out of the canteen, green eyes. I couldn't just leave you here to cry because that would go against the tutor code."
"Tutor code?" I ask, puzzled.
"Yes, the tutor code. It states that a student must make sure his tutor is never upset or crying and if he does ever find her like this it's his job to make her smile at any cost," he tells me.
"You just made that up."
"Maybe I did but that doesn't matter. Come on," he says, extending his hand out to me.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."

Aurora is a normal seventeen year old, happy and content with life. However, this all changes the day her boyfriend of two years, James, breaks up with her. Naturally, she's crushed.
The icing on the cake is why he did it. Apparently she's 'too boring'.
Determined to prove him wrong, she strikes a deal with the school's notorious bad boy, Wyatt King. She'll tutor him in maths if he teaches her to be reckless, fearless and careless.
Can Aurora overcome the odds and do what she planned? Or perhaps someone will stop her on her mission to win over James.
Maybe this isn't as easy as she thought it would be.
Maybe she takes things a little too far.
And just maybe making a deal with the bad boy isn't such a smart idea.
