What do you get when you throw a bad-ass and a nerd together? One hell of a confusing relationship.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chloe Vancelli has always preferred living on the edge. Whether it's cage fights, wrestling, or just plain old cat fights at school, if it's dangerous, she'll do it. Her motto is "Be prepared for anything, and if you're not, you're a coward.". But the one thing she's not prepared for? Her parents, high school sweethearts Joey and Emily, getting divorced. The reason? They've "found other people". Along with dealing with them splitting up, Chloe also finds out that her mother is engaged. And they're moving. To the nerd's house.
Ryder Samuels has always preferred hiding in the shadows. Whether it's tutoring kids, hanging out at the library, or cooking, if it's safe, he'll do it. His motto is "Hide from the bad, encourage the good.". But the one thing he can't hide from? His parents, caring Tom and abusive Veronica, getting divorced. The reason? His dad's "found another person". Along with hiding from his mother's anger, Ryder also finds out that his father's engaged. And the woman is moving in with them. With her daughter. The bad-ass.
