Holden Peirce looked like he could kill you... is actually a cinnamon roll. The student he is tutoring is hiding something. She is too smart to be failing math, and to jumpy to go unnoticed. She is afraid of Holden, that much is obvious. When an opportunity arises to get closer to her, Holden takes it. He has to figure out why this scared little bird is desperate to skip class, even if it puts her in close proximity to himself.
Something is going on here, and it's not just curiosity that draws Holden in.

As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler.
