Declan loves death metal--particularly from Finland. And video games--violent ones. And internet porn--any kind, really. He goes to school with Neilly Foster and spends most of his classroom time wondering what it might be like to know her, to talk to her, maybe even to graze against her sweater in the hallway. Neilly is an accomplished gymnast, naturally beautiful, and a constant presence at all the best parties to which Declan is never invited. Shes the queen of cool, the princess of poker face, and her rule is uncontested-- or it was until today, when shes dumped by her boyfriend, betrayed by her former BFF Lulu, and then informed shes getting a new brother--of the freaky fellow classmate variety. Declans dad is marrying Neillys mom. Soon. Which means theyll be moving in together.
