We all fear something, even those who deny it. There is always something that we are afraid of whether it be spiders, death or the dark. An obstacle of life is conquering those fears and not letting them take over your world, to not let them control your life and your decisions. Fear drives us to the edge of the cliff and gives only two options, to jump or run. The question is, which will you take? Will you take the leap or run away only to be faced with the ultimatum another day?
Meet Scarlet Freeman, an average sophomore in high school. Scarlet has a basic life, with no major problems and no major events. Why is she worth reading about? Because she's like all of us, average and alive. Follow her as she skips her way through elementary school, fumbles her way through her awkward middle school years and shuffles through high school. This is Scarlet Freeman, and this, is her story.
Scarlet just wants to be left alone and finish high school as she moved away from her home. People at her old school saw her as odd and she only had two best friends that were left back in London when she moved. She is forced into a new school being the new girl and hating the people in the school. Everybody seemed to enjoy drama and teasing the new girl relentlessly but she knows how to stand up for herself and she can be more dangerous than they think. Some trauma from home is found and in danger of being told, things that she doesn't really want people to know.
You'd think getting through high school would be easy.
A certain bad boy who happens to be her neighbor takes a keen interest in her. She's never liked anyone and has had no real interest in any relationship, only her studies that kept her busy. He's smart but acts like he's the greatest and he tries to impress her but she can hardly be impressed by things she can do.
Distractions around every corner with the bad boy and the popular mean girl group that doesn't approve of the bad boys attention on her.
