Strings and Satin.

"You're intoxicating, Elara, and I'm too much of a dumbass to stop myself. You're worse than any drug I have done and any alcohol I have drunk. I should be hating you, and I want to. I NEED to. I fucking can't with you anymore."

Partying, music, drinking, and other forbidden substances.

Ballet, soft piano, nail polish, and the latest fashion trends.

Maxine Jett Kingston. Rebellious teenager, turned party animal adult. She was kicked out of her house at just 17, with her parents deeming her a lost cause. She spent two years living on the streets, going from party to party, jumping from person to person, and performing in show after show-often couch-hopping with one-night stands. To her, she was living her best life, but from an outsider's perspective, she was heading down a dark path.

Elara Vivienne Dupont. Spoiled rotten, the complete opposite from Maxine. She was born and raised rich, with everyone wrapped around her finger. She grew up with Chanel and Dior shopping bags on her arms and expensive kitten heels on her feet. She was your average girly girl. Her nights were spent with her boyfriend, at ballet, or painting her nails a new color. She had Daddy's money and Mommy's love.

Maxine is back living with her family in their new house, and everyone is already fed up-especially the Duponts. One Dupont in particular, though.
