"I'm happy, I was happy, "I love you", I was loved, Nothing can hurt me, I've been abused, live, I wish to die, I'm fine, I need help, love me, hate me, laugh, I used to laugh, cry, I cry all the time, I'll make it, no I won't, I'm strong, I'm weak, I cared, I'm lifeless, save me, kill me, my thoughts, my dreams, bring me to life or forever bring me darkness. Either way nobody needs me".
17 year old Raven has lived in her small run down house since birth with her drunk abusive father. Living on the far side of town where nobody lives, she has extreme trouble making friends. Why would she even want to? Since from elementary to High-school she's known as the school weirdo and nobody talks to her. She doesn't care anyways because it's such a small town. She works at a music store to hone her guitar and singing skills, but every time she gets a pay check her father takes it to get cigars and booze. Ever since her mom died when she was 5 nothing has been the same and Raven wants to finally give up on life. But when she thought school couldn't get any worse, a bunch of new students fill up her whole school out of nowhere. New girls and the oh so hot boys?! As the new school year starts though, mysterious incidents have started to arise and questions of the sudden flood of students and the mysterious disappearings start to collide. Will this year bring Raven back to life or will it just become another reason for her to end it.
Becca Adams has a plan:-
1) Survive Senior Year with as little drama as possible - so far that was working
2) Ensure that her mother remains alive
3) Graduate
When her father died three years ago, Becca was forced to grow up, quickly. Her mother had a nervous breakdown and now acts like she's the teenager. But other than having to take care of her adult mother her life was going just as she had planned. She craved the stability and control that her planning gave her. So much of her life she felt like she had no control over things so she left nothing to chance.
So what happens when a stupid school assignment puts her in close proximity with Jack O'Connor one of the hottest guys at her school?
Becca knows Jack, he's a playboy. And she knows this because she lives in the same apartment building she does and sees the bevy of girls he parades around. Nothing good can come from this and she is determined to keep her distance from a boy who may just break her into un-fixable pieces this time. But the more Becca tells him that she wants nothing to do with him the more intrigued he is with her.
