The bad girl has a heart
"I think the both of us were destined to meet," he leaned closer, casually trapping me between him and the tree behind me. As intense as this was, I had to pull myself together. Maxine Carlisle doesn't show emotions!
"Well I think you're delusional. There is no such thing as destiny,"
"And yet here we are," he gave me a sly smirk.
"We were just unfortunate to be here," I reciprocated the gesture. I wasn't going to show him that he's gotten to me.
"I'm starting to like you Maxine," somehow, those words sent butterflies in my stomach.
"You don't want to make that mistake Ryan. I'm bad news!"
Maxine isn't one to feel sadness, or pity or even compassion for anyone.
She doesn't gossip with her friends and she doesn't giggle about boys. When girls her age are out shopping, she's out on the streets doing graffiti on walls... so no, she isn't your typical average teen. Her father may have all the money in the world, but even he can't get her a new attitude. And all the love he showered her with still didn't manage to soften her heart.
Tired of her daughter's rebellious attitude, her father takes her to a Summer camp in hopes that her daughter may at least learn to tolerate people if not live with them.
'Nothing good could come out of this' she told herself, 'a total waste of valuable time.
But she ended up slightly enjoying life without WiFi... and shocker! Actually making a friend. Miseri Camp changed her life completely... and the pessimist arrogant rebellious girl who hated the world and didn't believe in love..
Well...
Read and find out!!!

Chapter: 4: Pick a room~*Maxine*~“Hey! Is this seat taken?” I didn't want to act like a bitch, not to someone who was being overly bubbly and friendly. The cheer in her voice slightly agitated me... Her huge smile did too. I just couldn't make up my mind on which of the two annoyed me the most. Maybe if I ignore her long enough though, she'll vanish?“You're still here,” I looked up at her. She was supposed to seem offended, I expected her to look offended, but her smile just only grew.. which should technically not even be possible.“I love your hair,” she commented, “Was it always like that? Or is it like highlights or ___”“Can you like, I don't know, take an hour break from talking? I'm trying to enjoy my music before we get to that cursed 'misery' camp,”“It's actually 'miseri'___”“Not the point here 'dimples'”She giggled like a kid... Like me calling her 'dimples' was the funniest thing she's ever heard. It was slightly worrying that this jolly-dimpled-weirdo found humor in all the insults I tried

Chapter: 3: Miseri Camp*~Logan~*“We're here!” Jackson announced as he parked the car at the drop off. Maxine aimlessly stared outside the window... staring at everyone who was passing by with their luggages. I couldn't exactly tell what she was thinking though.Once upon a time, I could read her like an open book. I could tell when she was mad, when she wanted something, when she was sad and miserable even without her telling me anything... but nowadays, as far as I'm concerned, nobody can really tell what's running through her head half or even all the time.The things she does, the stuff she says... she's a totally different person! Life really fucked her up... more than she'd care to admit. “Star?” dad called her, that childish nickname he gave her long ago because of her obsession with the stars... But I haven't heard anybody call her that in a while, and by the shock on Max's face, I could tell she hasn't either. I saw her swallow hard and then casually return her gaze back outside. “What?” but she

Chapter: 2: Summer camp.Maxine. The father- son relationship between my father and Logan hasn't gone smoothly for a long time. I mean, the two have always had a rocky relationship, but things became worse two years ago. The two have just never gotten along. You think I have an awful relationship with my father, you should see Logan! He rebelled ever since he turned sixteen. He had this sudden career change and saw it was his 'calling' to be a musician instead. And of course that decision worsened his relationship with dad, considering he was the one who was supposed to take over the company. Ever since Logan recorded his very first song, which I've never really bothered listening to, dad has never talked to him again. No phone call, no email, not even a text! So it's something pretty worrying when dad calls Logan, of all people, for advice. Arriving at the office, I got the usual welcoming. Everyone basically downcast their eyes and walked as far away from me as they could... well, ever

Chapter: 1: He's bad news!Maxine. "Maxine Carlisle! Your bail's been posted... you're free to go!" the prison cell I was confined in opend, and I was finally free to leave. I've heard a lot of people complaining about how terrible their experiences in jail were... but to be honest, it actually isn't that bad! A couple of roaches here, and a few rats there, but that's basically about it! Nothing as bad as they make it sound like in the movies. But then again, I've only been here for like, I don't know, an hour? Those guys have spent years, even decades in here! So some people might argue that my 'jail term' doesn't exactly count... well I still argue that it does! The officer led me to the front desk, where I found Jackson, my father's right hand man back at the company, impatiently waiting for me. And when he saw me, he noticably seemed more relaxed, and his usual goofy smile was back on his face. "Miss Carlisle, it's been a while," he gave me a respectful nod, and strangely enough, I reciprocated it, an ac

Chapter: Prologue. *WARNING* This book contains strong language and may be unsuitable for children under the age of sixteen. Viewer discretion is advised. Maxine. "What did you do dthis time Maxine?" it was clear by the tone he used that he was not at all happy being here. The feeling was mutual being really... I didn't like him being here almost as much as I didn't like me being here. "Why do you always asume that I've done something?" "You just so happened to be in the principal's office because you scored a perfect grade on your tests?" his question was totally rhetorical and full of sarcasm. "I can't help being smart dad," I gave him a slightly innocent shrug, just to tick him off a bit... my dad totally hated it when I did that. He frustratedly grabbed his hair, and on realizing waht he had done, made an effort to return

Not all who wander are lost
He caught hold of her leg and yanked backwards. She hung on and flailed both legs, kicking him in the head, the face. He fought to hold her legs down. Sweat lathered her hands. They slipped from the post. He yanked again. She rolled over to face him and punched with both fists. Her right fist caught him in the eye. He growled in pain, then threw himself on top of her, pinning her arms and legs. She screamed.She strained to free herself, lunged up to bite him. He jerked backwards. They slid down one stair. She tried to scream again. He slapped a palm over her mouth, his breath hot on her face.She fought him until they had tumbled down every stair. By the time they reached the bottom, every ligament burned. She stared at him wide-eyed, gasping for breath between his bruising fingers.She trembled violently, longed to run again but knew it would do no good. He stood at a good seven inches taller and outweighed her by at least fifty pounds. She didn't stand a chance.All she could do now was placate him. Do what he wanted... no matter what it was!

Chapter: 17: Veronica Carlisle ~*Sarah*~"This is my favorite part of the school," Kenzie stated as she led the group into the gym, "It's where my cheerleading career began. It also happens to be where I was crowned homecoming queen,""Hold on a sec," Natalya interrupted Kenzie for the eighth time... Yes! I've been counting! "I thought this was a tour of the school, not your life story,"Something tells me that Natalya isn't exactly fond of Kenzie... And the feeling seems mutual. The two have been bickering with each other since the tour began."Come on Nat, let the girl share her accomplishments," a guy, who I earlier found out was Natalya's boyfriend, Raymond, stated."We aren't interested in her 'accomplishments'___""Speak for yourself! I wanna hear them all," a guy commented."If you don't want my tour, feel free to hang at the back with Sarah,""Even death by decapitation sounds better than having to listen to you,""That won't be much of a problem... I happen to know a guy___""Hey! Can we check out the cafe

Chapter: 16: Royals at school SarahHere I am with a shovel in my hand, in a cemetery, digging my own grave!Okay fine, greatly exaggerated.But I may as well be doing that with the decision I'm about to make. I'll probably be dead by the end of the day. I wasn't at all certain about it... But come on, when have I really been certain about anything in my life? One thing I was slightly certain about though was that I was making a huge mistake being here. And I made a huge mistake agreeing to be a tour guide in Rory's little suicidal tour group. I still had a voice at the back of my head telling me it's a terrible idea. Casey warned me to stay away from Connie... But here I am, at the parking lot with Rory, about to begin this tour.I was freaking out, for different reasons of course. It was enough that I had to be social for God-knows how long. Add the fact that I had to do this with Kenzie. This tour might basically be the last thing I do before my life comes to an end. I heard Rory mention something about Crown

Chapter: 15: Tour Guide?Sarah.Staying away from Connie can't be that hard right? Except it's Connie we're talking about. Even if I was to stay away from her, there is no reassurance that she'll do the same.As I walked from my final class of the day, towards my locker, I heard my name being called from behind me. I looked behind but saw no one... at least nobody who would call me.Though cometo think of it, who really would?It's one of the perks of being friendless, who get to happily live without people calling your name! But when I felt someone tap on my shoulder, I knew it was more than just my imagination."What, are you ignoring me now?" said the cheerful voice I'd basically recognize anywhere.

Chapter: 14: Temporary truce.Sarah.So that's it. I guess the decision is basically final. And there's nothing that can be done about it. I guess all I can do is hope and pray that Connie isn't one of the twenty six Crown students that are coming to Berry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she goes to 'Hearst' or something... just not here!Since the dismissal of the assembly, 'Crown students coming to Berry' is all everyone is talking about.Some people were actually excited... the school band most especially. It's a fact that the Crown Lake Academy's school band is pretty talented. Their music is to die for... and I'm not kidding. The school band is miraculously taking their arrival extremely positively.Others on the other ha

Chapter: 13: Back To School.Sarah.I am so not psyched about this whole back to school thing... and that should really say something considering I'm the biggest nerd at school. School is my happy place... my safe haven. Or it was, before Casey came along and spoilt everything. He has been doing everything in his power to ruin my life ever since he transferred here... and so far, he's basically been successful.And now I'm here at the school gym, as is everybody else, waiting for the principal's announcements. They said it was 'super important'... a 'life-changing' announcement. Nobody seems to have a clue as to what he was talking about, but I guess that was why we were all here.A paper ball landed on my head, and I heard a few laughters from behi

Chapter: 12: The Crown Has Fallen.Casey Connie nervously paced outside the restaurant. We could all see her from where we sat. This is the twenty second phone call since she was informed about the fire at their school. And I'm not kidding, I've been counting! I saw her frustratedly grab her hair, but when she saw me watching her, she simply shot me a small smile, then turned the other way so I couldn't see her expression. Natalya, being the drama queen that she's always been, hasn't stopped crying. I've always known she was emotional, just not to this extent. No offense, but it was almost annoying. This was the exact reason I avoid hanging out with her most of the time. Mike has been completely quiet the entire time. Just like me,
