"It Takes and Addiction"

Lana Vanderbilt was a fiery, yet controlled teenager, nothing seemed to affect her; not her mother's death, not her constantly working father, not the fact she only had one friend in all of high school, nothing. Unless a specific theme was mentioned in a conversation, nothing could break her protective shell. Due to her recently widowed father's lifestyle and riches she must engage in the lifestyle of millionaires, by going to events like galas and balls. She hated every single one of them, especially after her mother's death. All people did was try to start a conversation with her by showing their "condolences" (condolences meaning they wanted to be part of her father's business or convince her to mention them to Mr Vanderbilt, like they called him). However her feelings towards these formal events take a sudden shift when she meets an annoying boy her age, Benjamine Irvine, with some serious problems and an endless social battery. Turns out he and his parents were new in town and were making a business deal with her father. When school starts again after summer break, she finds herself crossing paths with this Benjamin more often than she'd like. Their personalities clash but due to a desperate favor asked by his secretly bankrupt parents, Benjamin must try to charm this reserved girl in order to find information on her dad's business.
