It's on my sixteenth birthday that I realize I've never had control over my own life.

From my outfits to my hairstyles and even to my love life, my parents made every decision for me. And instead of fighting, I lived by my mantra: keep my head down and keep my mouth shut.

Until I'm paired with Brentwood High's resident bad boy, Hudson Bishop. There aren't enough adjectives to describe him. Intimidating. Scary. Panic-inducing. There's a reason the school calls him the Grim Reaper. And when our principal pairs us together for a "buddy program," he makes it perfectly clear he doesn't want to be stuck with a stiff like me.

But when I'm voted Most Likely To: Stay A Prude by the elite crowd of the school, suddenly Hudson Bishop is more than just a bad boy-he's a way out from underneath my mother's thumb. He's a path to rebellion, and despite all of the warning bells going off in my head, I take it.
