As heiress of Horan Holdings, a disgraced press company, Clare Horan moves to another school in her senior year of high school after losing her temper against a classmate. 

That's when she meets Elliot Lockwood, son of a mega tycoon. 

With winning smiles and a handsome face that turns many heads, Elliot is loved by everyone in school. 

But Clare knows Elliot for who he is- a boy who sees people as tools, and a boy who cares for no one- even himself. Someone she should stay away from. 

The pair end up in a relationship of give-and-take- to find out the truth behind the disappearance of Elliot's mother and the suspicious grounds on which Clare's father was put in prison for. 

But soon enough, Clare sees Elliot for who he really is behind his charming smiles, quick wits and manners- a boy with unexplained bruises, a boy merely used as publicity tool of his adoptive family, and possibly, a boy who's running out of time- to live. 

The story of Clare and Elliot. Clare, the crazy but sweet and Elliot, the sweet but crazy. 

-@- 

He was quiet for a moment, and then, slowly, shifted his head slightly and pressed his lips against my neck. 

Fuck. My insides seemed to melt. By my sides, my fingers slackened. 

"You want the shameless type or the bashful type?" Pulling his head away from my shoulder, Elliot straightened. Gently shifting his cap up, he looked at me, grinning. "You tell me what you want. I'll do just that." 

~ * ~ 

"My strategy was to make you pity me, so that you'll help me more actively." Elliot smiled faintly. "But it kinda feels like shit, with you looking at me like that."

"Like what?"

"Like you sincerely sympathize with me."

"Listen, I've got a proposition for you," Azure's firm voice flew across the soft wind of the graveyard, "something mutually beneficial." Elliot stepped back slightly, "I doubt that." Azure stepped closer and the street light flickered; he then whispered, it was soft, like the fall of dead leaves, "I can help you keep your scholarship. Don't you want to keep your dream a reality?" Elliot narrowed his eyes, "Did you do a background check on me?" "That doesn't answer my question." "And that didn't answer mine." (Abridged) -/- Life had never been fair to Elliot. After barely managing to scrape by, he somehow made it to his junior year at Central Haven, one of the most prestigious preparatory high schools in the country. He was prepared for another two tiresome years of high school, but the future has other plans for him. The start of the school year brings with it the infamous Central Haven merit project. Unfortunately, it's done in pairs this year. Even worse, he's stuck with Azure, notorious for his flippant demeanor. His living situation gets worse and his scholarship is at risk. Azure notices Elliot's struggles and the two make a deal. Surely Azure's up to something, but what? Regardless, Elliot isn't in a position to refuse. ...Maybe they'll find and lose Liberation. -/- If you're unsure about this reading this story, I hope you'll at least stick around to chapter 7 when the story begins ramping up. This story is a slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers. Please do not take this story at surface value as there is a lot of subtext. Be aware: the story can be extremely subtle. The story delves into various topics with social commentary so if you want a nuanced modern romance story, I highly suggest you give this story a try. Elliot is a strong protagonist, just less traditional. Updates will come on Fridays at 4 p.m. (PST) with most months having at least one update. The ending is planned so the story won't be incomplete.
