Ammora’s goal for the year is to do everything she can to keep her scholarship. To Ammora this means no partying, dating and definitely no drinking. With her head stuck deep within her books, she seems to be well on her path of accomplishing her goal, that is, until she meets Brooke Holderman. Brooke Holderman is everything Ammora isn’t and with his easygoing charm, Ammora falls easily for him. Soon, she is sucked into a world of friends, partying and glamour, her goal seemingly pushed aside. Ammora soon realizes that there is a price for everything, even her newfound popularity. Everything isn’t as they seem and she learns the hard way that everything that glitters isn’t gold.
Excerpt
“Leona, you know I can’t. I have to find volunteers for entertainment in the retirement home and I have a physics test on Monday. I can’t afford any distractions. I really can’t…”
“Lose my scholarship” Leona completed Ammora’s well-versed sentence with her.
“Yeah, that”, Ammora sighed shaking her head, causing her long braids to swish to either side. Ammora had worked hard for years, often surviving on two to three hours of sleep to be able to attend an Ivy League university. The only way she could do that was if she got a scholarship. Her years of hard work had paid off when she was awarded the dean's list scholarship in her senior year of high school.
“I understand that but come on its just one night. Not even a whole night, only a couple of hours. In exchange, I’ll volunteer at the retirement home with you, every Saturday until spring break. Deal?” Leona proposed.
Ammora was quiet. Her friend drove a hard bargain. She would be free until Spring break and she supposed she could show up for a couple of hours. She even had a new dress she had brought a few weeks ago. She wanted to wear it for Thanksgiving, but she had been so swamped with assignments she had spent all of Thanksgiving on campus, catching up on her classes.
“Okay fine. I’ll come, but on one condition” Ammora didn’t want to cave in too easily. This was her first and last college frat party.
Leona let out a squeal and jumped a lot higher than expected from someone who swore they were allergic to exercise. “Anything!” she practically yelled.
“You’re not allowed to leave me alone the entire night. I don’t know anyone there except you. Promise?” Ammora said seriously, holding her friend by the shoulders to stop her jumping up and down.
