Discovering Zhara — Jessica Sorensen

Zhara:My life used to be close to perfect, but it all fell apart the day my parents died. Now, everything is different except for me. But when I decide to go to Benton's party, everything changes.I know Benton from high school and know he gets into a lot of trouble, so I've kept my distance from him for the most part. But when I confess to him that I wish I could change my life, it somehow leads to him giving me my first kiss. But Benton isn't who I think he is. He has secrets. And so do I. And both of our secrets are about to catch up with me. Benton:I live a double life. One where I'm Benton, the high school rebel, and one where I'm Benton, the lead singer in a famous rock band.  Over the last year, my image has gone downhill, and my manager wants me to date a girl who will help improve my image. That's where Zhara comes in. I kissed her once at a party, not because I was playing a part, but because I wanted to kiss her. It was an amazing kiss, but it scared me. I'm not used to feeling emotions like this. I'm not used to feeling much of anything really. Part of me wants to forget about the kiss, but that'll be hard to do since I ask Zhara to pretend to be my girlfriend while my band goes on tour. That is, if she'll agree to do it. I just hope I can handle it.
