Description
Secrets, high expectations, lies, and affairs. That's just some of the hobbies that the privileged students of Saint Paul's Private School have to deal with. As senior year begins and our it girl, Julia Bond, is hit with a wave of bad news from her distant and emotionally unavailable parents. A new and charming scholarship student, Aurora Conway, is seated with her for first period chemistry. Two girls that on paper - seem polar opposites. The tension is palpable, and the stakes are high between the two. So, will sparks fly? Or will they burn out before they ever really shone? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (exerpt from first chapter) "Hey" I said my eyes on her. "Hi" she said with a lingering smile. "You have a really nice name . . . Aurora . . like sleeping beauty." A grin erupts on her face and I see her pearly whites gleam in the class' fluorescent lights. "Nice joke but it's unoriginal. I've heard it my whole life." she chuckled. I raise my hands in mock, surrender, enjoying this moment way too much. "Sorry, I just had to . . . by the way my name's Julia" I had my stuff in one hand, ready to leave the classroom, but I wanted to see how this conversation would end. Her aura fascinated me like no other. She's not like the elitist snobs that attend this place. She must be a scholarship student. "I know . . . it's a very pretty name." she said in a sincere manner before pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "No stupid name jokes for me?" "I'm afraid not." she shook her head at my question. "Okay well . . . have a nice first day . . . sleeping beauty" I smirked. I left a flushed expression on Aurora's face that I found quite adorable.
