Ich kenne ein Geheimnis. Das gleiche Geheimnis, das auch der Schülerrat – die superreiche, superschöne Elite der Adamson-Jungenakademie – kennt. Jenica Woodruff, das einzige Mädchen, das vor mir die Akademie besucht hat, hat nicht Selbstmord begangen: Sie wurde ermordet. Jetzt stellt auch mir jemand nach. Egal, wohin ich auch gehe, der Mörder folgt mir. Wie sich herausstellt, ist meine neue Highschool genauso unsicher, wie es meine alte war. Ich bin nicht Mitglied des Schülerrats.

Ich habe ein Geheimnis. Die sündhaft schönen Mitglieder des Schülerrats – Church, Ranger, Spencer, Micah und Tobias – dürfen es aber nicht herausfinden. Weil mein Vater der Schulleiter ist, drangsalieren sie mich bereits genug. Sie dürfen also nicht erfahren, dass ich das einzige Mädchen an dieser Schule bin. Außerdem trage ich sowieso lieber Jungenklamotten.

Mein Geheimnis ist gelüftet. Ich bin offiziell mit dem gesamten Schülerrat zusammen. Das ist aber nicht das Einzige, was an der Adamson-Jungenakademie nicht der Norm entspricht. Viel bemerkenswerter finde ich die Morde, auch wenn mein Vater da anderer Meinung ist. Er ist nicht gerade begeistert von meinem Scheinverlobten oder den anderen vier Jungen, die meinen Puls zum Rasen bringen.
