Summary:
The Upper East Side of Manhattan is brimming with young and beautiful people with endless bank accounts, pent houses and closets full of designer labels. They get stellar grades, are captains of every sports team and party all night long. With all of this wealth and privilege, what could possibly be wrong? These Upper East siders may put up a glamorous front, but behind the glitz is a foundation of lies.
Character Inro:
Effie Pearce- Two years ago, Effie moved from London to Manhattan with her family. Since then, now a senior at Addison Prep, Effie has dominated the social scene and made her mark as queen. Effie is undoubtedly beautiful what with her long glossy dark hair and grass green eyes. What people don't see is the emptiness in her eyes. You'd be in tears if you could read her mind.
Jeremy "Jem" Pearce- Being Effie Pearce's twin brother definitely has it's perks. He was invited to his first New York City party because of her when they first moved across the pond. Of course, being tall and undeniably hansom helped with the social scene as well. He is "the British Bad Boy" to the girls and the Captain of the Rugby team to his friends. His addiction to partying and sleeping around would give him a bad rep… that is if he wasn't top in his class and a national Merit Scholar. Some people really do have it all…
Zoe Lowry- Zoe is an old soul. She spends her time reading Tolstoy and Jane Austin and fantasizing about what life would have been like back in a different time… after smoking a bowl first. Zoe is always high no matter the time of day. Being Effie's best friend can be stressful plus she liked the feeling of being detached from herself. Her rib-length honey colored hair is always a mess and her grey eyes are always red, however she can compete with Effie's looks any day, with out ever giving it a thought.
Griffin Seaver- Grif is too much for words. His outrageous sense of humor and obnoxious exterior can be a bit much for some, but luckily for him he does have SOME redeeming qualities; for example his fluency in French and his knack for handling a hockey stick.
Sawyer Connent- Jem's partner in crime since age 2. Sawyer moved in with the Pearce's over the summer when his parent's decided to pack up and move to South Africa. Sawyer had always loved New York from past visits and jumped at the chance to skip out on the South African exploration. He has another reason for being there though, and it has nothing to do with his love for the city.
