Ref's biggest problem is his ability to make girls cry. That is, besides the teeny, tiny, incident four years ago that people just can't forget.
But he's cured--according to his therapist.
When the principal can't find the person behind a new round of thieving and vandalism, Ref's name once again graces the top of the suspect list. He's going to have to catch the true culprit himself, if he wants to have any chance at a future free of an orange jumpsuit.
This would be a really, really bad time to fall for a girl that throws his world into even more chaos.
But maybe he can handle it, because Ref isn't just any guy. Ref is A Little Bit Pyro.
***Note: You may have spotted the similarity to the title of my first story, A Little Bit Ninja. *claps for you* That would be because this is a continuation of Ninja, even though it's told from a different character's perspective. You don't have to have read the first book to read this one. The people who have read Ninja will just have a head start on getting to know the characters and the background story....although I, as the author, would be happy if you did read both.
Also, I won't put any spoilers in it until I'm done writing A Little Bit Ninja, so feel free to read both at the same time.♥***
