At first, it was only a quick dare that I came up with. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. I win, so you have to ask out this person- and don't tell them that it's a dare, alright?
But now, everyone is doing it. And I've started a poisonous trend.
Consequently, her own game comes back to bite her in the butt when her ex boyfriend, (kinda, sorta, boyfriend?) Joseph Zerro (aka Zero, the meanest, toughest, guy around town) becomes the one she must ask out. She could always back out of the deal, but then of course, the gang that she managed to get herself tangled up with would kill her.
Quintessence faces the challenge of having to convince the infamous Zero to not only give their relationship another chance, but maybe even save her life too.
Scarlet just wants to be left alone and finish high school as she moved away from her home. People at her old school saw her as odd and she only had two best friends that were left back in London when she moved. She is forced into a new school being the new girl and hating the people in the school. Everybody seemed to enjoy drama and teasing the new girl relentlessly but she knows how to stand up for herself and she can be more dangerous than they think. Some trauma from home is found and in danger of being told, things that she doesn't really want people to know.
You'd think getting through high school would be easy.
A certain bad boy who happens to be her neighbor takes a keen interest in her. She's never liked anyone and has had no real interest in any relationship, only her studies that kept her busy. He's smart but acts like he's the greatest and he tries to impress her but she can hardly be impressed by things she can do.
Distractions around every corner with the bad boy and the popular mean girl group that doesn't approve of the bad boys attention on her.
