Bad girl of the school, Faye Lenards, is in for a ride when she gets partnered with the infamous bad boy, Paxton Lenox. Annoyed at all of his smart comments and charming attempts to get to know her, Faye thinks working with Paxton will be a miserable experience. Once they both realize what it takes to be given the same reputations, she realizes she might have been wrong about Paxton, and her outer core begins to soften.
*****
In high school, people are often branded with labels. Jocks, nerds, geeks, and so on. The list can be endless. They're given reputations that don't always fit the person, or sometimes they do, down to the tee.
Faye Lenards and Paxton Lenox have both been branded as the bad kids of the school. The bad boy and the bad girl. However, the two have never exchanged words, despite sharing a few classes together.
They're both known as the bad kids but it's much more than that. There's way more to them than just the surface. And they discover that, once they're paired on a health class assignment together.
They discover that there's a lot more to their personalities than what others think of them.
Love, a few misunderstandings, and a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream later, the two find that they make a great pair.
ALSO AVAILABLE IN SPANISH UNDER THE NAME Dado La Misma Reputación
**This story was previously known as Labels.**

COMPLETED, CURRENTLY EDITING/PARTIALLY REWRITING (please excuse the mess. Some of the plot is being changed so there might be a few areas that get confusing, nothing too much though)
Funny how life decides to act like a roller coaster. The ups and down come in a split second. You can't decide whether you want fast or slow. Dangerous or steady. But you don't get a choice. You go with the flow. No matter what.
I'm Phoenix Wood, the misfit, and outcast of my town. Instead of a roller coaster my life's more like a train wreck. My adventure loving parents were lost at sea and I was left to my aunt Clare Small. Like I said, train wreck... Not roller coaster, TRAIN WRECK.
Not to mention the fact that I end up stuck with the bad boy. Could it get any worse? Secrets unravel and life gets a bit more complicated that it used to be. But it must go on.
She's stuck with the bad boy. Or is it the other way around?
Maybe he's stuck with the bad Girl...
* WARNING: this book is my first work, it'll be a bit rough at the start and sometimes I'll accidentally mess up the story line or it will seem ridiculously stupid, so read at your own risk (I will admit, this book is like my baby, so please be kind when correcting my errors). It gets much better about half way through. If you'd like to read a book of mine that is much better written, go to my profile and find the book Breathe Me. Thanks! (Seriously though, there's a TON of mistakes, some made because I'm currently editing, so the story line could get confusing in some places)
