To Be a King

Sasha McAllister is from the higher end of town; born into a family with money, she can have everything she could ever want and more. She's the daughter parents can only hope for, the girlfriend boys will only ever dream of, the friend that everyone fights to get the attention of. An intelligent girl with lots of determination, sass, and wit, Sasha's the perfect dream girl and fits right in with the high-end socialites, the Preps. However, the status quo is starting to wear down on her. Between her parents' continuous pressure to be perfect, her friends expecting her to be up to par with them, and trying to find out who she really is - a 16-year-old girl can only take so much.

Tucker King, a brat, a low-life, good-for-nothing - at least, that's what he's used to hearing. The youngest of five brothers and the son of a widowed alcoholic, it's not easy trying to love a normal life. His older brothers raise him the only way the know how, and that's through violence and danger. He and his group have the dirty image of street rats, dubbed as the Kings, and the preps hate them for it. As the youngest, Tucker's labeled as the runt and always gets picked to start a fight with - and a King never backs down. His hard-headed, stubborn ways have gotten him into more trouble than he'd like to admit, and it's started to show in his growing reputation.

When Sasha and Tucker start breaking the social norms, worlds are flipped around. Two teenagers who were born into such different lives will finally see into the other side. They see and hear and learn - and the world seems a lot bigger than it was before.
