Mason Greene is a 17 year old, with a reputation to always be that cool, happy person-even if he wasn't. He was the Bad Boys best friend who was the one to give out favors; like distracting the crazy ex girlfriend, covering for the guys while they skipped class, making sure their drunk asses got home safe, and helping the boys out of trouble. So, on Christmas break at his Aunts in Florida, he spent the entire time being the Bad boy, and with it, he met Mystery Girl. Then, he went back home in Illinois-not looking back as he did.
This is the story of Mason and Viola-who just happen to be not so much opposites.
