Bea has been expelled, again. She has decided that this time, this school will be different. She only has to remain here until she graduates, but will her sharp temper and quick tongue get the better of her? After having recently been cheated on, Bea is reluctant to open up to another boy. Will she find that special someone? Or will she learn that all guys are the same?

Meet Courtney, she’s never had a boyfriend. She’s turned down guy after guy because she’s been in love with the schools player, Alex, since she started high school. After learning that Alex is the downfall of men, she will go to extremes to stop her best friend, Bea, from suffering the same fate she suffered all those years. Will knowing everyone’s deepest secrets and desires work out? Or will Courtney just become stuck in the middle?

Alex, the school celebrity, the guy which every girl thinks they’ll be able to tame. He will only date a girl for a week, but he doesn’t cheat. He’s onto the new girl, Bea, like a hawk. She’s pretty, intelligent and, most importantly, she doesn't just throw herself into his arms. (You always want what you can't have, right!?) Does Alex genuinely like someone or is it all just for the thrill of the chase?

Adam Bennett. He’s had his share of girlfriends, but, as Alex’s best friend, that is only to be expected. He has never had a girlfriend who he really likes, and somehow he always seems to end up in bed with an ex. After Bea becomes his girlfriend, will she tear apart the friendship he and Alex have had for 8 years? Will he be able to keep his hands off other girls, or does ‘once a cheat, always a cheat’ apply here?

Ben Ellwood, he doesn't go to the same school as the others because of his incredible smarts. Does Ben like Bea too? Or is there something else still to be uncovered about this vague character?

Helpful reminders as you read: (subject to change & be updated w/the release of chapters) Main characters: 1. Charlie (woman) - She has light features, recessive genes. She is a mistake in the genetic pool, yet b/c of her lineage she has all of the rulings of an aristocrat. 2. Aero (man) - Dark features, thick eyebrows. Colonel and Charlie's fiance. 3. Rhys (man) - Charlie's best friend. 4. Senator Holm (man) - One of many senators that work directly with President Malcolm Bouchard. 5. 273 (man) - Peat. Dark features. Chocolate brown curls. Tattoos whipped out of place. Emerald green eyes. Vocabulary: * Plebeian - a lower class individual, the lowest class. Marked by light physical features and high spirits! * Aristocrat - an upper class individual. Marked by dark physical features and perfect skin. *Peat - an individual that has both plebeian and aristocratic blood, usually from rape. Marked by a number on the side of his/her neck. * Defect - a derogatory name given to nobles when they appear less than average. * D.O.C. - the day of correction set to kill off those that don't look perfect * Corpse flower - a flower that has been rumored to possess the components to correct the genetic error found in Sybaran. * Silver knickle - currency in Nephraim * G-shot- the shot that corrects defects. * The Oval - is the center of the world, the government. President Malcolm Bouchard works here. Basis and facts throughout the story: Pieces from the Old World are forbidden. Those with lighter hair follicles and iris colors are considered problematic; skin tone is no longer the issue. Every race has the ability to be born with lighter features, so there's no prejudice against race. Just physical features. Sybaran is the continent; Nephraim (home village) , Salem (stricter division, where Aero was born), Mieich, and Shankrai, are the 4 subdivisions (countries) of Sybaran that we have so far.
