"What does it feel like being wealthy?"

"Well, it's a long story."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     --

Wealth. What is the definition of it? Well, here is a few things that describes wealth, according to the dictionary.

1.) A large amount of money or possesions.

2.) The value of all the property, possesions, and money that someone has.

3.) A large amount of number.

But you may ask, what does it really do?

1.) It ruins relationships.

2.) May come off as an annoying, spoiled turd.

3.) Brings out happiness, but only in a short period of time before facing the consequences.

Ashley Cooper has the looks, the brain, and the wealth. Add in the perfect parents, she has everything she wants. No, she isn't arrogant, she is actually far from that. She's a humble, 17 year old girl.

But as things get tough, she finds herself drowning to the real world. Where there isn't such thing called 'perfect.' Wherein there is no such thing as a happy ending. Where she finally realizes that not everything is meant to be her way. Throw in a couple skeptical hearts here and there, what is there to lose?

They never tell you what to do when five girls from your school go missing. They never tell you what to do when you witness them getting murdered in the middle of the woods. Tragedy seems to follow me around. It constantly lurks behind me, waiting for the exact moment to snap its fingers and mess up everything. And that night, everything changed. Because, after that night, I wasn't the same person anymore. I'm not known for being reckless. It's not me. But now, after I saw death with my own eyes, I can't seem to care anymore about the consequences. I got involved too deeply, and now it's too late to turn around. There is only one rule. Lie. •••••• Genevieve Farrow is a sweetheart. A girl with a heart of gold who struggles on her own. No one sees the scars that she hides so well, or the battles she has to face every day.

That's until she finds herself tangled in a crime scene that she can't run away from, and everything in her life seems to turn upside down.

A past that he desperately tries to forget. A boy that was forced to grow up sooner than he should have. Pike thinks he will never find peace, but when he gets a glimpse of her, it seems like happiness is in the cards for him. Two tattered souls finding each other. Both broken and lost. So wrong and yet so right for each other. But will love be enough to hold them together? Will it be enough to earn them a happily ever after?

Fourteen-year-old Edison Green may be a genius, but he doesn't have a clue about what to do on his first day of high school. After being homeschooled until age 9 and then starting college courses, Edison doesn't have any experience with kids his own age. His parents believe he has a rare gift and they don't want him to be distracted by the menial problems of teenagers; instead, they want him to focus on his research project, which could be the next big breakthrough in physics. Edison loves physics more than anything, but loneliness and curiosity about life outside his world cause him to rebel. He goes on strike, refusing to continue his studies until his parents agree to let him go to high school for one year. Edison isn't worried about high school being hard--after all, he's been invited to join Mensa International--an exclusive club for the top 2% of the world's smartest people. But he finds out quickly that it takes more than a high IQ to traverse the social events and activities at Southton High School. During an unfortunate encounter with the school's most popular athlete, Edison meets Christina Blakely, who saves him from getting pummeled on his first day of school. She is the exact opposite of him in every way. Christina is a soccer phenom who doesn't have time to be friends with lowly freshmen. She's got problems of her own, including a low GPA, which could prevent her from getting a college scholarship. Can Christina achieve the impossible-the highest GPA she's ever had--and earn her scholarship? And can Edison prove to his parents and everyone else-including Ashley Murray, the most beautiful girl he's ever seen-that he can do more than solve difficult math problems? Can he really change the world with his research project, win Ashley's heart and survive high school?
