Okay, so yeah. I'm finding it extremely difficult to cope with Let's Get These Teen Hearts Beating Faster, so I'm discontinuing it, and replacing it with this. So, yeah. Sorry and thank you to everyone who alerted, favorite-d, and reviewed. Really, really sorry. But, you know, I think this might be better.
It's kind of an exaggerated story of a group of people who are all problematic and dramatic and shiz. I drew inspiration from a lot of shows(that I will not mention in fear of being compared to them. And, dude, I don't stand a chance against these shows) and my own imagination. I have no idea if this will work or not, as it is an over-the-top experiment. Like, seriously. They're a serious bunch of misfits and fuck-ups, and I don't think it's realistic, but whatever. It's fun.
Title is from The City is at War by Cobra Starship…and the summary, too…
DISCLAIMER: I don't own it. This will be applied to all chapters, to everything that needs to be disclaimed.

oh, what a beautiful tragedy we've become
you'll cry painted tears while I inhale secondhand smoke
Westchester, New York. Home of Briarwood-Octavian Academy and its students. Beautiful, dirty rich, notorious students. Oh, yes. Infamous for their breathtaking good looks, hard partying ways, and the rumors that start and surround their reputation, their names are now unforgettable in Westchester's adolescent society.
Claire Lyons. Skye Hamilton. Alicia Rivera. Nikki Dalton. Kristen Gregory. Todd Lyons. Cam Fisher. Derrick Harrington. Chris Abeley. Kemp Hurley. Chris Plovert. Josh Hotz.
As with most stories like these, either someone comes back…or someone new comes to town.
Enter Dylan Marvil and Massie Block.
Massie Block
(I hate being home.)
Honey, really? Running away? Of course it would have consequences. Karma's a bitch, after all.
/
Dylan Marvil
(I miss being home.)
You should know that not everyone wants you back.
/
Claire Lyons
(I have to be pretty. I just have to.)
Trust me, darling. It's not worth it.
/
Skye Hamilton
(I have to keep my balance. Love equals no balance.)
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. That's life.
/
Alicia Rivera
(I'll tell him. Someday.)
No secret is kept hidden. Especially if it's that big.
/
Nikki Dalton
(I don't do. I deal.)
She gets the pills from the skills,
She gets the skills from the pills.
Sound familiar to you?
/
Kristen Gregory
(I'm always on top, and no one can bring me down.)
Oh, really?
/
Todd Lyons
(I care. Sometimes.)
I'm expecting everyone to fall in love with you.
/
Cameron Fisher
(…)
Strong and silent. What a cliché you are.
(But I kind of have a thing for clichés, you know?)
/
Derrick Harrington
(I party. Like it's the end of the world.)
Party like it's the end of the world is a song lyric, not a life motto, idiot.
/
Christopher Abeley
(I'm Chris Abeley. Pleasure to meet you.)
Golden boy. Psh. So what?
/
Kemp Hurley
(I'm gonna take care of you, babe.)
Just a warning: Hugh Hefner is creepy, okay? Not really an ideal role model.
/
Christopher Plovert
(I don't really handle pressure well.)
It's hot in here, isn't it?
/
Josh Hotz
(I don't think anyone would ever understand me.)
Well, you're an unfortunate soul, aren't you?
Massie Block. Dylan Marvil. Claire Lyons. Skye Hamilton. Alicia Rivera. Nikki Dalton. Kristen Gregory. Todd Lyons. Cam Fisher. Derrick Harrington. Chris Abeley. Kemp Hurley. Chris Plovert. Josh Hotz.
Watch them paint an intricate abstract of secrets and lies.
Oh, the life we live in Westchester.
If you may have noticed, I used part of the beginning of Let's Get These Teen Hearts Beating Faster. I cannot really say why I used it, because I don't really know. I just felt like it.
And this preview/trailer thing might not make sense or anything. Just to clarify: the ones in parentheses are things the character says, and the italicized things are what someone says to them. The someone is like a sort of Gossip Girl, even if I'm not actually gonna put a Gossip Girl in the story. It's just something for the trailer/preview
And the song I used for Nikki is Newport Living by Cute Is What We Aim For. And Derrick? 2012, by Jay Sean. I don't really know the song, but I researched the lyrics!
