Oh, To Hate You

"I hate you" I whispered as I felt him get closer to me. His presence was everywhere, almost making feel like I couldn't breathe.

"I trust me, the feeling's mutual." He chuckled as he twirled a strand of my hair around his index finger walking around to face me.

I hate the way his eyes seem to analyze every move I make, like he can read my mind.

I hate that I like that he pays attention to me, that I'm interesting enough to keep that attention.

Evangeline Gillian is the daughter of powerful political family. She knows the ins and outs of how to keep up good appearances. She's had to raise herself for as long as she can remember. Her parents work around the clock and only ever care for her when she messes up. So when Evangeline has enough of playing the picture perfect daughter and goes to a party to rebel against her parents she's ends up going viral. Her face is plastered on news articles and magazines for being "reckless" and a "careless" teenager. Her parents send her away to Great Pines Private Boarding School in Washington State. Of course everyone there knows what she did, so how will she build her reputation back up when everyone around her tries to shatter whatever confidence she has left?
