The Pact

Nikki Vataro knew from a very young age that she was
di erent from the other kids. She was smarter than the
others were. Sometimes even smarter than her teachers.
She always stood up for the underdog. She excelled
at everything she tried, especially basketball. Most of all
she had a family that loved and encouraged her. That is
what was important. That is all she needed or wanted.
Then in a blink of an eye, her family was gone. Left
alone at only eleven years old she was lost. With no one
to help her control all her gifts she made some bad deci -
sions. Decisions that landed her in juvenile detention for
three and a half years.
Now at seventeen, she is free to start a new life. She
must now gure out how to deal with the pressure of
being a teenager with a past, on her own, and in a new
town. Unknown to her as she walks out of the gate, she
will not be heading out alone. Four of her father's fraternity
brothers will be there to help her along the way.
The rst person Nikki meets turns out to be the one
that helps her the most. Kenny is the boss's son. Good
looking, smart, and athletic, he has everything going for
him. Together they ght to make it through an intense
senior year of high school.
Can she overcome her past mistakes? Can she learn
how to trust again? Can she learn to be part of a family
again? Can she learn to love again?
