This was my only chance... On the last week of my high school career, I was going to make this dream I had for Alex to like me, become a reality. Alexander Zane was all I had thought of besides surfing for almost three years. My life is pretty simple for the most part. Alex had never given me the time of day, but I was going to change that. Little did I know fate had bigger plans for me. In one night, at Sebastian's end of the year party, my entire life flipped out of control. This was no longer about a school girl crush because none of that mattered. That one random night at one random party, my life had changed forever. This wasn't about a guy anymore, it was about me finding out who I truly was. Trying to find the truth in this world of chaos that I had been thrown in, was only the start. Choices were being made for me and my life was spinning out of control. No one was ever who they had claimed to be. I wasn't who I believed I was either, and that reality was starting to slowly sink in. Learning that a decision that was given to me before I was born, and would change the lives of many forever, was only the start of this nightmare. My name is Selene Athans, and the stories you were told, they're true.
