Scarlett Martinez has had a tough few years. After the passing of her father a flip switched in her and she lost all of her friends. Going from the River Valley Secondary School's (RVSS) most popular girl to the girl that no one wanted to be around was a bit of an adjustment. After hurting one of the most important people in her life, Nikki Vasquez, she promised herself to never get close to anyone else again and her abusive step-father and drunk of a mother don't make it hard for her to do that.
Alexander McLeod suffers from the guilt of his brother's death. After moving to RVSS Alexander became one of the popular guys at school. He's star quarterback of the football team and is dating the 'it' girl in school, Nikki. Things have been going great for him but things don't always stay "perfect".
So what will happen when these two polar opposites "randomly" bump into each other? Alex is determined to get to know this mysterious girl while Scarlett tries her hardest to keep her distance from the boy that pushes and pushes and pushes to get closer to her but it's hard to ignore the fact that everyone needs a friend.
The bruises and breaks raise suspicions with Alex... not everything can be covered up with makeup. Not to mention the fact that she jumps every time he touches her.
Will Alex be able to figure Scarlett out or will she be lost to her own monsters?

Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.
