Rowan Hart is the new girl at school, seems like a basic story huh? Not really. She attempts to befriend Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez. Rowan has always had problems making friends because she's always known to be very unfriendly, but Benny declines thinking she's trying to hit on him, (he's a little bit too used to that) when in reality Rowan finds him quite repetitive. Benny immediately becomes intrigued at the fact Rowan doesn't have interest in him, but what can he do? Rowan being the obnoxious, hostile girl she is, and Benny being kind yet somewhat rude, how long will Benny have to chase her? And Rowan being desperate for a friend might have to take the opportunity to become a better person.
P.S. Some of you may not like Rowan at times because of things she says or does, but she's not supposed to be a super like-able person. It literally says above this that Rowan is wanting to take the opportunity into becoming a better person. 💀
Every year, nobility and royalty from near and far gather together to court and find matches for the Season.
Rowan never thought she would find herself in the Season at all, being a lowly peasant from the countryside. But a chance encounter as a child might have set her on a path she never dreamed possible.
Could this ridiculous notion of courting a bunch of rich spoiled brats actually bring her to her soul mate? Or just leave her heartbroken and worse off than before?
"Was he just teasing me? Was this just some point to prove that he knew I was attracted to him even though I clearly hated him?
My thoughts were so jumbled I couldn't work through them.
Some very small voice in the back of my head was yelling at me and asking what the hell I was doing. But it continued to get smaller and smaller every time his fingers and lips grazed my skin.
All I knew now was how amazing his skin felt on mine.
It was clear where he was going.
He was going to kiss me.
And I wanted him to."
