HOW TO BE A HEARTBRE♥KER

Plot; Alexis is always getting her heart broken. Every time she think a guy is truly in love with her they always turn out to love her for not who she is but for what she has. Well, sometimes she thinks she should’ve seen it coming; some of them, who played with her heart, were jocks, players and a bunch of nobodies. She’s constantly on the look out to see who would hurt her this time, though not all of them are from her school. At home, Alexis’ mum is always drinking to forget the world. After the divorce with Alexis’ father, her mum took the fall hard and tried meeting new people, who eventually left her. One day, her father rings up and asks if she wants to stay at his. But it’s a tough decision: meet the people who broke your heart or stay with the woman who breaks your soul? In the end, she decides to stay with her dad for a month as her mother meets someone new and goes back to her old ways. But things aren’t easy.

As she returns to the familiar crowds of her old school, Alexis is forgotten by most of the pupils and she doesn’t mind. She never really did make her mark there; most people classed her as a nerd because she was so quiet, shy and always getting the best grades. Things seem to stay the same until she meets the new girl.

Cassara Haven, the new girl to the town, takes the school by surprise. She’s not your average girl: first off, she has chestnut hair and hazel eyes, uncommon for most girls here. Another things is that she’s a boxer and isn’t afraid to take anyone down. The one thing that Alexis notices about her is how every guy at school seemed to love her, hunger for her and yet she pays more interest in the bracelets that cover her wrists.

When she opens more up to Cassara and voices her problem via school newspaper column, Cassara agrees to help Alexis to find a guy who won’t break her heart.

Then an idea pops into her head.

Cassara is good at breaking hearts. Alexis is bad at fixing hers. So Cassara teaches her to be a heartbreaker.

Giving Cassara a list of all the guys who broke her heart, Cassara picks out four boys, whom Alexis has to break the hearts of before she goes back home.

But like in every game, there’s a twist.

When she completes the task, she has to break the heart of Lucian Jones, the boy who works at the boxing club Cassara goes to. He’s not all fun and games: he has O.C.D, His brother is on the run and he’s not very friendly either. In fact, he keeps his heart locked far away, hidden by his cold persona.

Will Alexis be able to do all this in just a month? And what happens when the boy she thought hated her turns out to have a heart after all?

‘’How not to get your heart broken? Easy: you just pretend you don’t have one.’’ –Cassara Blair Haven
