|  8𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 · A YA Beauty and the Beast gender-swapped retelling. Bit of a Stranger Things vibe going on, too! 

Life was going mega well for Beatrice-Bea Laurent, a soon-to-be 18-year-old certified Insta star slash posh gal. 

She was spending every waking breath throwing parties, and dodging responsibilities. 

Until one fateful day when an Instagram scandal has her parents banish her from New York to New Town. 

Next thing she knows, she is cursed by a creepy old lady and is... changed. She starts growing fur, claws AND fangs!

                                                                                      ***

Beatrice Laurent is your average posh teen girl, who goes to classes when she feels like it.
Which is basically... never. She spends her days lounging on her couch, staring at her phone screen, sharing fab life insta stories with her "friends," and sliding into their dms.
Dodging real life responsibilities left and right, she does nothing, yet has everything.
And, she has no problem with that. 
In fact, she enjoys it.
Chartering planes-check. Private yachts-check. Designer duds-check. 
No expectations, no responsibilities, no worries. 

But that all ends when Beatrice gets grounded and banished from New York to New Town. 
Cherry on top: she is cursed by a creepy old lady at a party she threw!

Suddenly she is friggin' growing fur, claws and other feline attributes, and having the incredible urge to roar and pursue tiny rodents.

What's a girl to supposed to do when she involuntarily transforms into a beast and can't attend classes no more?

Can Bea count on Ross Thorne, a bookish classmate who is struggling to stop living in his older brother Gus' shadow... 
To keep her secret? 

And perhaps aid her in the un-cursing when their budding affection becomes more than apparent?

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor.
