My name is Roxanne Rawlins and this is the sadly true story of my senior year at Sterling Acadamy. 

So while I don't normally go in for all that bullshit teen chick wisdom like My So-Called Life. But there's one thing that the main character Angela Chase said that has always resonated with me. "Hatred can become like my food...it gives you this weird energy. That you can like, live off of?"

So by the time my senior year rolled around, I pretty much lived for my hate. My hate is sacred to me ...it completes me. And trust me when I say, I have my reasons. Sure as shit they might not be great reasons? But they are mine, and I kind of like them. 

They say that hell has no wrath like a woman once scorned? Yeah, well they haven't seen what kind of rage I can bring to the bonfire party. Because this year I am gone burn so bright, I will set the world on fire. 

So we had sex, love, lies, violence, and volleyball ...but not necessarily in that order.

"The feeling is mutual." He replied with eyes full of hate and anger. They burn with a fierce and intense fury. But as they glare at each other, something shifts. Their eyes seem to bore deeper, as if searching for something beneath the surface. The anger in their gazes slowly gives way to a spark of attraction. "Why can't you just disappear?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. "Because I can't get you out of my head." His voice was equally as soft. Their eyes hold for a moment longer, the hate and attraction swirling together in a toxic mix. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Açelya Bennett's life was forever altered when she left her home in Istanbul, fleeing the shadows of her father's financial struggles and the haunting memory of her mother's passing.

In this rarefied world of privilege and pretension, Açelya struggled to find her footing. The entitled elite seemed to whisper cruel taunts in the hallways, their eyes piercing her like daggers.

Yet, as they continued to cross paths, their animosity slowly gave way to a forbidden attraction. As Açelya navigated this new world, she found herself drawn to Léon in ways she couldn't explain.
