Tristan Cardona, Braiden DeGiovani, Estria Darrin... three best friends who are tighter than a girl's jeans. No one can divide them, unless you want a new scar across your face. Many have tried to cleave them apart, but all have failed. Except one. One girl.
Katlyn Benth. She dared to do the unthinkable.
Can she twist and turn the girls' friendship into a rebellious act, as their small white lies turn into dark secrets, isolation becoming their laughter, and drama becoming their future, as their friendship become the past. Can she make the memories the girl's have created just a fairytale?
Will she achieve her goal, and leave them in broken pieces of glass, or will they come back and cut her with the shards?
Find out yourself.

"What are you doing here?" Braiden asks Katlyn who's hips sway back and forth as she trails forward.
"I know what you did," Katlyn gleams her straight teeth that glisten. Braiden, confused and slightly worried, inspects her with a glare.
"You're such a whore Bread-Bread," Katlyn snorts as she laughs. A crowd has now gathered around the four girls, including Katlyn's minions.
"What are you talking about? This is planet Earth; we're humans not martians," Braiden seethed and ready to pounce. But Tristan held a firm hold on her arm.
"We all know that you slept with Jackson Thornee," she laughs again.
Some guy in the crowd mummers, "more like Jackson Horny."
Braiden could feel embarrassment overflowing in her veins, as her blood runs cold.
"But... I didn't," she tries to defend herself. Estria plants a hand on Braiden's shoulder, and gently pulls her back.
"It's alright, I'll hand this," Estria whispers to Braiden, then whips her gaze to the blonde-beast, "we all know that's a lie BITCH. Now, if you don't leave in the next five seconds, I will fucking CUT YOU on the spot!"
"Ooh!" Roars the crowd.
"She told you!" Said some guy.
