"Do you have any idea how fast you make my heart race, Cupcake?" He leaned forward and whispered. This simple action, sent shivering chills down my spine. "I, made his heart race?" I wondered, because this bitxh had no idea that he made mine run a marathon whenever we had close proximity. I smiled knowingly, because now, I could hear the pace of his heart beating rapidly against his chest.
Exactly like mine.

Here, you have Scarlett Anderson. Trouble's her middle name (not literally, it's actually Barbara). She's the State Champion for Track and she's insanely sarcastic.
Now enter Izek Ryder. A teen rebel, an extremely sexy one. Sweet, protective, sarcastic and hilarious.
But, there always seems to be a catch, doesn't it?
He has a secret, a huge one to be exact. He's secretly a person whom no one at school knows about. Let's just say, Izek might be a pretty boy but he's not as innocent as his face seems.
And Scarlett's more than determined to find out what her crush is hiding. It will either dissipate her feelings or make them bloom forevermore.
And what happens when a rebel falls for a rebel?
Trouble. More and more trouble.
In shorter words, Scarlett's in trouble. Literally.

[ forewarning: this book was written when my brain was not fully developed aka twelve or thirteen, so my writing style, usage of words and sense of plot is absolutely horrendous, extremely cringey and cliche to the point where it's predictable. so i apologize for what you are getting into and i'm only keeping this book published because it has helped me grow as a writer and a person and reflect on flaws as an artist. my growth as a young writer can be evaluated by read this and my latest book "a miscellany of short stories". ]
