Kensington
Worth had a vision for her senior year. It involved her best friends, her posh
private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with her piano until her
audition was perfected, a guaranteed ticket into the best music programs in the
world.
Instead,
a nightmare took over.
It
didn’t happen all at once, but her life unraveled quickly—a tiny thread that
evil somehow kept pulling until everything precious was taken from her. She was
suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in an existence she
didn’t choose—one determined to destroy her from the inside, leaving only hate
and anger behind. It didn’t help that her neighbor, the one whose eyes held
danger, was enjoying every second of her fall.
Owen
Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the kind that’s spoken about in
whispers. And somehow, his path was always intertwined with Kensington’s, every
interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for any future better than her now.
Sometimes, though, what everyone warns is trouble, is exactly what the heart
needs. Owen Harper was consumed with darkness, and it held onto his soul for
years. When Kensington looked at him, she saw a boy who’d gotten good at taking
others down when they threatened his carefully balanced life. But the more she
looked, the more she saw other things too—good things…things to admire.
Things…to
love. Things that made her want to be reckless.
And
those things…they were the scariest of all.
I know I shouldn’t, but I turn around anyway, and I give
Owen my full,
undivided
attention. His friends have already left, and he’s slowly
walking
backwards, showing me his middle finger and smiling with that
faint
half-grin I’ve seen far too often over the last three days.
I don’t know what makes me do it. In fact, I don’t know why I am
the way I
am
with Owen. I’ve been careful and timid and obedient my entire life, my
only
mission to please everyone—please my father, Chen, my mother, my
friends,
my teachers. Please, please, please, please, please. That’s all I
do.
And all it’s done for me is land me in Woodstock, away from my friends
and
the senior year I was expecting to have. I’m not pleasing Owen Harper,
too.
So I stand with my tray and raise my arm slowly by my side, my eyes
zeroed
in on his until I’m pointing at him. I close one eye and cock my
head
slightly to the right, like I’m making sure I have him in my
sights—and
then I pull the trigger.
“Jesus H Christ, Kensi! What’s wrong with you?” Willow asks. She
pulls my
arm
back down, but I keep my eyes on Owen, staring into his gray-blue
eyes—eyes
that look like a wolf’s. “What are you doing?”
“I’m starting a war, Willow,” I say, my heart speeding up
and my breath
growing
more ragged as reality catches up with me.
I’m starting a war with a guy who doesn’t lose; a guy who doesn’t
play by
the
rules.
A
guy who scares me, and who knows where I sleep at night.
