Nsikan isn't just our cliché high school girl. In fact, she's as normal as they get. An average look, an average brain, and an average way of reasoning. With two amazing best friends she's supposed to be the center of attention right? Wrong, but she did gain some attention. Nsikan miraculously found a way to gain the Trix's attention despite her trying to be a wallflower which turned out to be a complete failure. Aside from that, she manages to gain the attention of the most attractive boy in school, but not in a good way. To Damian, Nsikan is weird. He sometimes wonders if her brain functions differently from every other human. Irrespective of being bullied on a few occasions, he realizes Nsikan still finds ways to smile and act silly and he found that strange. Damian and Nsikan might be two opposite individuals, but will there be something to learn from each other?

After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. 𝑫𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊 𝑶𝒓𝒋𝒊 - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood. Most alarming yet, an outcast who has always been the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and a damaged playboy with narcissistic traits dare to fall in love in a world that forbids them to. In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. ❦︎ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind.
