"Ever since MacKenzie Johnson set foot in our scared halls. The world turned upside down."
The day that Scarlett Abercrombie accidentally befriends pompous, pretentious and "popular" MacKenzie Johnson, is the day when Scarlett and Carly Hollister's lives changed forever. Life had become complicated. Friendship was not simply friendship and every smile had to be founded upon a lie.
Darkness is everywhere. Waiting. Lurking. Scheming. Mackenzie's arrival had simply awoken it and stirred up hatred, betrayal and fear. Friendships were shattered. Trust was crumbled. Everyone's loyalty was called into question.
As Carly and Scarlett dives deeper into the pits of society, they find that they are becoming the pretentious shell that MacKenzie is. Will they sink deeper into their own web of lies? Or will they find a silver lining in the stormy clouds of betrayal? Either way, if you even touch the flames... You will be burnt.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary.
