The Switch

Ivy

Legacy Rivers has always been a dead end. I can't remember a time where I wasn't plotting my escape. The rules were simple; don't drown, don't let go of the mask, and most importantly, stay away from Greyson Alister. My brother's best friend has always been an animal, reckless and dangerous in the worst way imaginable. Everything he does is dipped in rebellion, the type of vortex a good girl like me couldn't risk falling into.

But I did anyways. I fell, hard and fast into a world of ecstasy and pretty colors until he was all I could see.

It wasn't long before this town was dragging me back under the sweltering heat that came with being their most prized possession.

What they forgot was that I knew just how dark Legacy Rivers could get, how wet its hands were with blood and corruption. I knew things I wasn't supposed to know, and I was willing to expose every last secret for the people I loved, even if it meant sacrificing myself.

I had been scorched to death by this town and now I was back, ready to let them burn for it. I had risen from the ashes of the girl I was before, embracing my broken my wings and the secrets carrying them.

Alister had changed. He was meaner than I remember, bigger in every sense of the word, and wanted nothing to do with me. He had every right to hate my guts, especially after what I did back in highschool, the things i'd said, but still I regret nothing.

Like I said, I'd always had a plan to get out of this place, but what I wasn't prepared for was the blood and tears blurring my vision on my way out.

Greyson

She's back.

My best friend's little sister, my demise, the one fucking transgression I couldn't stay away from.

I had stayed in Legacy Rivers for one reason and one reason only- my loyalty to my friends and the oaths that bind me to them.

Someone was missing, and now she's back. Roaming around campus, lingering in the back of my mind like a fresh burn. A distraction I can't afford.
