Many people never dare to attempt the unknown, content to stay within their realm of normality, while some fear disappointment and others dare to try only to fail. But, sometimes, those who dare, win. ~ Rory Griffen; a smart mouth, apple lover, coffee addict and the best friend of Kayli Winchester is just trying to get by and pass her night classes. But, when Kayli gets dragged into a dangerous situation with a group of boys Rory is all too happy to ruffle some feathers and keep them as far away from her friend as possible. Unfortunately for Rory none of the boys seem to want to keep away from her. ~ This is a reverse harem fanfic based on C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle series featuring an OC, the language used is appropriate for mature readers and some things may be changed for creative purposes. I don't own any of the characters, the Ghost Bird Series, the Scarab Beetle Series, The Academy, or Charleston. I'm not making any money off of this.
