The Secrets of Birch Price and Annabeth Brown Mayfair

"She's memorized his schedule, every other day during the last ten minutes of lunch he goes outside to the back of the gym to take a smoke break, his black clothes blend in with the dark shadows. His name is Angus and he always smells like nicotine and coffee."

His real name isn't Angus, it's Birch, and he generally, if at all, smokes in the alley by the cafeteria, not the back of the gym, but her readers don't necessarily know that she's based her start-up novel off of a boy named after a tree.
