-close your eyes && see-
[just close your eyes, and you'll be here with me.
just look to your heart, and that's where i'll be.
if you just close your eyes 'til you're drifting away.
you'll never be too far from me, if you close your eyes.]
him && her.
(one boy and one girl)
two different people.
(who just happened to be best friends)
from two different worlds.
(it's high school; what else is there to say?)
in one small, boring, and predictable neighborhood.
(everyone knew everything about everyone else)
with one thing in common.
they wanted to escape from reality
:~:~:~:~:
one typical jock with no choices of his own to make
(who to date, what sports to do, who to be friends with…)
one rebel who has no way of being who she wants to be
(because she just has too much enthusiasm for boring old winchester)
;;;;;
one boy who had everything any other boy could want
(but it just wasn't enough)
one girl who could live her life as an artist in their small litle town
(but it just wasn't enough)
:~:~:~:~:
one day
(april twenty seventh, to be exact)
they came to a conclusion
(well, more like a decision)
if they didn't escape soon…
(soon; as in within the next twenty-four hours)
they would emotionally suffocate to death
(they didn't like being told what to do or not to do)
but unfortunately…
;;;;;
it's much harder than they both think.
meet the characters-
enter Todd Lyons;
Todd Lyons is on top of his game; his inbox is filled with invites to the latest parties and all the girls he could ever want knocking at his door, what more could this boy want? With the spotlight thrust on him and his father pressuring him to date that "pretty girl" Olivia Ryan for business reasons, he's starting to crack under all the pressure and craving for the real life. He's tired of everyone choosing everything for him, from friends to girlfriends to at what time he should arrive at parties, Todd's tired of acting like he's perfect, like he can't make mistakes. He needs to live and act like a normal teenager without the constant pressure to be perfect, he needs to breathe and be free from it all. Todd wants out and out he's going to get.
-what happens when perfection just isn't good enough anymore?-
add Nikki Dalton.
Nikki Dalton is the type of girl who will dye her hair with multicolored streaks, no matter if Olivia Ryan and her posse of clones shoot her dirty looks. She is the type of girl who will spray paint the superintendent's car hot pink and sign her name all over it. She is the type of girl who will sneak out (even if she's grounded and threatened by her parents to send her to military school) and TP her cranky math teacher's house. She is the type of girl who will wear Juicy Couture sweats to formal wear prom and rock it like nobody's business. Troublemaker and rebel just begin to cover who Nikki Dalton is, she's destruction in the prettiest form, and her appearance just screams danger. (Even the local police have her under their records as worst juvenile delinquent.) When she gets tired of the life in Winchester and wants to go after her dream of being a painter, Nikki devises a plan with Todd to escape, but this time the stakes are going to be high.
-when you're too big for the place you're trapped in, all there's left is escape-
meet Olivia Ryan.
This girl is the reason you check your outfit a million times to make sure it's ah-mazing (Olivia-lingo). The reason you make sure not one glossy strand of hair is out of place, no makeup imperfections are clouding up your face, that your skirt isn't riding up. Because you can't afford a sharp, cutting-to-the-core glare coming from those cold storm-colored eyes of her's. With sunny Californian looks, rows and rows of credit cards begging to be broken in, and that sinister trademark smirk of her's, Olivia Ryan has the whole school at her manicured feet. She's the uncontested ruler of Briarwood Academy and no one dares stand up to her, for the fear of being socially ripped apart is too big. So what happens when she overhears the plans of the loser (a threat really, but she'd rather die than admit that) Nikki Dalton and the hottie that every girl wants but she can't seem to get Todd Lyons are formulating plans to escape her perfectly and orderly little kingdom?
-what happens when everything you worked so hard for is slipping through your fingers?-
mix in the clones.
Better known as Olivia Ryan's puppies, these girls are at the top of the food chain but are sentenced to a dull life of serving Olivia like faithful slaves.
First comes the exotic and beautiful but admittedly ditzy Alicia Rivera. She's the second-in-command and follows Olivia around like a dutiful servant, ahem, friend. With a brain the size of a peanut, this girl is the perfect beta because how could she ever bring the powerful queen down off her golden and much loved throne? Among the girls she may not be the most popular, but with the boys, that's a completely different story altogether.
Then comes the beautiful twins, Livvy Wilder and Becca Wilder, who are as sneaky as they are sweet and goofy. Both are superstars on the soccer field and kick-ass in any sport known to human. Livvy is known for her rib-hurting humor and Becca is infamous for how nice and wonderfully smart she is. These twins are at the bottom of the pack in Olivia Ryan's posse but unlike Alicia, hate being down so low but have to cope with it or else they're off to Social Siberia.
-the ones who do all the dirty work as the ones that take the hardest blow-
never forgotten, the best friends of our main stars.
The ones that know Todd and Nikki like the back of their hands, the ones that can make them laugh no matter the situation, the ones who know all their secrets and support them no matter what.
Layne Abeley and Skye Hamilton are the best friends of a certain gal and together the three grew up in the same neighborhood. These three beautiful gals have been through everything and trust each other to the extreme. All of them troublemakers and have no respect for school rules, they detest the populars with a fiery passion. Nikki knows their secrets as they know her's, but is there something she could be keeping from them?
Danny Robbins and Chris Plovert are Todd's right hand men, brothers from other mothers, his guys. Grew up together through mud fights, video game tournaments, and heartbreaking crushes, these three boys are inseparable and share many things together. Danny and Chris are somewhat players and somewhat wrapped in popularity and haven't been the best of friends as of recently and Todd is getting sick of it all. Could this cause him to hide something that could alter his reputation from them?
-just because they're your best friends, don't mean they won't judge you-
and throw in the prying student body of Briarwood and their constricting families and see what mess you've got.
-no one ever said leaving it all behind would be easy-
