Life has a funny way of turning something horrible into something beautiful. 

I really thought that my senior year was going to fly by like the rest of my high school career. I planned on spending my time the exact same way I did every year; reading, sleeping, and Netflix. Of course I would squeeze in some time for hanging out with friends, but other than that, my social interaction would be limited.  

What's funny is that I should have seen it coming; when has anything ever gone the way I wanted it to? The quiet, peaceful, life can't last forever and I was a fool to think it could. I was messed up for a few years, finally getting back into the rhythm of life, but of course life decided it wanted to shake me up a bit.

I guess it really started a few years ago, but the day my life truly changed was when a certain emerald eyed someone decided to waltz right back into my life. I thought I didn't want him to come back, and every bone in my body shook with displeasure just at the sound of his name. 

I just didn't know that what I didn't want, was exactly what I needed. And soon, I would be craving that need with an insatiable hunger.

We were a team. A confidence team, gaining your trust and ripping you off for every penny we could squeeze out of you. Stealing millions between pickpocketing, elaborate schemes against the rich, and knocking off banks; we made it big. We were good, really good at what we did. This time we were too greedy. We couldn't pass up a 4 million dollar art con. Each couple would have walked away with 2 million dollars and we could have settled down and finally started the family we had talked about for years. But he disappeared......in the middle of the night, abandoning me. Until he returned with a bullet hole in his arm and desperation in his eyes. Begging me to help him one last time, but could I ever forgive him? Could I ever look past his betrayal of leaving me in Tennessee to fend for myself and fight off the cops myself? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● "What were the first words you ever spoke to me?" He asked softly, his thumbs wiping away the wetness from my cheeks. "No." I choked out. "Don't! I don't want to say it." "You said...Hi, my name is Alexis and I just moved into my grandparent's house across the street. Can I play with you? And I knew the moment I laid eyes on you...." "You were 10 years old, you didn't know shit." I croaked. "I may have been 10, but I knew a beautiful girl when I saw one. And you blew the rest of the world out of the water. I may have saved you by leaving you in Tennessee, but at least you still had your grandparents. I had no one if I didn't have you."

I heard Jordan groan in frustration before he made his way over to me, crouching in front of me. That stupid signature smirk of his was back on his face again as he slowly but surely moved his head toward mine, his face tilting as his mouth got dangerously close to mine as every second slipped by. My breathing hitched, my heart pounded, and suddenly, out of nowhere, my fist formed, and it flew right into Jordan's face. He stumbled backward, losing his balance as he hit the edge of the table. ~ Casey Valentine. She's your typical girl-next-door, smart, slightly awkward girl just wanting to live her ordinary-enough life without any unnecessary drama, wanting to finish the last few months of her senior year of high school with flying colours before setting off on her journey towards the rest of her life. But her life changes suddenly when she discovers that there are multiple people all after her, and they might not all be in the same way. As time goes on, and Casey finds herself getting closer to each of them in ways she never expected, she learns a lot more about the world than she ever did before. Everyone has their own secrets, secrets they don't want anyone else discovering. Human lives are much more precious than she originally thought they were. She soon finds herself trapped in a vicious war that she wants nothing to do with, with danger attracted to her like a magnet. But what happens when she realises that something far more dangerous is at work; love? Well, I suppose that the only way to find the answer to that question is to take a dive into the deep end and join Casey on her journey. Not every story has a happy ending. ~ This is a story about love, and the power of friendship, that overcomes all obstacles, as cheesy as that sounds. One girl's destiny, although fatal, is the key to saving those around her from their inner turmoil.

I turn around and look into his blue eyes, searching them. When I'm certain that he's not lying, butterflies erupt in my stomach and I gulp audibly.

His other hand moves from my waist to my jawline and he trails his thumb along my bottom lip. He pulls my face closer until I can smell his minty breath. His eyes close and so do mine. My head tilts to the side slowly and I feel his lips on mine. *** Natalie Bennett: a sassy 17-year-old, who, after leaving her home in Paris, starts at Lakewater high in America.

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back.
