My name's Amber Carter. I'm a Skateboarder and won lots and lots of trophies along with my brothers Aaron and Dylan Carter.
Me and Dylan are adopted with a twisted history between us and Aaron is the lead singer of the band One Girl, 4 Notes. I also have twin siblings Cole and Zoe Carter.
After the band moves up to college and rise up to even more fame, I move back to LA and my childhood. Considering the unfortunate ending to my two friendships, it should be interesting how my new high school life will play out.
$$$$$$$$$
Amber is back in town as she returns home to LA.
As she starts her junior year, Amber finds herself at the same high school as her old best friends. Best friends that had been there her whole life, except from 7 years ago, where she left for the love of her life:
Her Skateboard
And never came back.
Now as she learns about her old friends again, she remembers the verdict she gave them as both her friends left her each for their own reason:
"If you lose me, do not find me."
Now as they go too far and insult her talent, she plans something that LA has never seen, to show them how good she really is and make her older brothers proud.
Speaking of older brothers, when her ex-best friend's older brother comes into the mix, she can't help but let old feelings stir. Doesn't help when her ex decides to make an appearance, at the same time her friend circle disintegrates in front of her.
Within her web of disaster,
Amber needs to learn how to balance her time, friends, family and her love of skateboarding within the space of 6 weeks.
Watch her life go into chaos and crumble under the pressure.
Or will she succeed and make the world recognise her name just to spite her friends.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
