Alexis life is boringly basic. She lives with her aunt Zora along with little sister and older brother. Monday though Friday she gets up at 6:00am, gets dressed in her uniform and her precious blue dirty converses her mother gave her. After school, she comes home to watch her sister LeLe and her brat friends for money along with her two best friends Anastasia and Gekeya. Then, when all the kids are gone she tucks her sister in bed, and hangs out with friends until 8:30
However, her life changes when one day her younger sister meets a new friend with an annoying older brother. 
He's everything that Alexis is not, and it not only bothers her but him also. One could say it's like hate at first sight...
Life seems bad enough since she has to see him everyday after school when they watch their sisters play together, but now he is a new student at her school who she has to do a project with.
Everyone seems to love him and not see what a pretender he is.
Will Alexis preserve?

A musically talented teen with her sights set on the spotlight must find a way to get her life back when she falls in with the mob. ***** In a city where con artists make the rules and aspiring females wear sequins and dance with a pole, Melody Holiday refuses to ride on the coattails of her semi-famous grandfather. She wants the freedom to choose her own path to showbiz greatness. When a chance meeting with a handsome stranger provides Mel with an opportunity, she thinks she's landed the big one. But her grandpa isn't thrilled with the direction Mel's career is going, and it's not until she stumbles across something she probably shouldn't have that this becomes clear. Perhaps meeting the stranger with the Rocky Balboa eyes wasn't by chance. Maybe Mel is rubbing elbows with the kind of people who could take away her freedom for good. This story is loosely based on the author's feral youth. So, if you like your fiction shaken not stirred with a sprinkle of badboy on the rim, NEON GIRL delivers the goods; giving readers a dose of drama, a dash of romance, and a heaping helping of Las Vegas schmaltz. Oh, and there's a killer playlist, too. WATTYS WINNER! LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction and owned by the author.
