"Can I leave now?" I asked.
"Are you sure you want to?" He purred with a crooked grin.
Most girls would have swooned, but I'm not most girls.
"Go away."

Meet me, Alison Juarez, a sarcastic, antisocial, and highly-opinionated girl who would rather stay at home and watch Lord of the Rings than go out and hang with a bunch of my peers, or, affectionately described by me as "drunk, sweaty, stupid, nutcase teenagers".
Enter Mr. Hot Stuff, the most popular, and according to popular opinion (though not mine) the hottest guy in school, and a peculiar game with even more peculiar tasks, and what do you get?
Alison Jaurez playing a stupid game with a guy she doesn't even want to give the time of day to.
Isn't that reason enough to start reading this thing?
(If not, there are Harry Potter references)

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
