MY WHOLE LIFE people always expected me to be a good girl with perfect grades.
Especially my dad, who worked hard for my scholarship at Easton Academy. It was a pricey and extravagant school that my family couldn't afford, but it still offered one of the best educations in the country. That's why my father made sure of my acceptance.
Adelina Baker, the student who has always had an impeccable record, good manners, and a quiet personality. I was the perfect girl.
Innocent and lovely in my dad's eyes, but I needed to be more than that. I wanted to live in the fast lane, to do what I chose. Before my mom died in a car accident, she told me to live the way I've always wanted.
I wished to be free. And maybe by doing that, I could protect my brother.
