Sure she gets detentions, but to say she's a troublemaker is a straight up lie. Besides skipping some classes, she's a semi-good kid with semi-good intentions. Cameron Mills is quite the opposite. He gets suspended all of the time and to say he's a troublemaker is an understatement. He fights and has brass knuckles with him at all times. He even failed his grade two times, causing him to be a nineteen year old senior. When Deja gets in the middle of one of Cameron's fights, she gets put into a wrong place, wrong time situation. Now, the school will forever know her as the accomplice. An accomplice is a person who actively participates in a crime, even if they take no part in the actual criminal offense. And what's worse than wrongfully being labeled such? Being treated like crap. Read and you'll see how Deja's life slowly changes based on her new title of the bad boy's accomplice. ~There are a lot of chapters, but they're not that long.
