Accidentally Bent

Bent spoons, bloody noses, and hidden truths. Thomas, a street-smart teen struggling to make ends meet, finds his life turned upside down after a literal collision with Eli Golden, a rich kid with a secret and an attitude. Thrown together by detention and clashing personalities, Thomas finds himself drawn into a world of wealth and secrets, where nothing is as it seems and every interaction is a tightrope walk between animosity and something unexpected. Can Thomas survive detention and uncover the truth about the golden boy and his hidden life, or will he get bent out of shape trying?

The morning started with a familiar argument with your older sister, Elle, about a bent spoon. It's a small thing, but in your world, every little bit counts. After a quick goodbye to your younger sister, Molly, and her beloved (and dirty) stuffed bunny, Mr. Bunny, you head out the door, the worn soles of your sneakers hitting the pavement.

You're on your way to school, the neighborhood gradually changing from familiar shabbiness to unfamiliar luxury as you get closer to the city center. Humming the Dora Explorer theme song you got stuck in your head while trying to get Molly to sleep, you spot something shiny on the ground – a quarter! Not much, but a quarter is a quarter.

As you bend down to pick it up, your lucky day takes a sharp turn. A sudden shout, a blur of movement, and then a crash. You hit the ground hard, the air knocked out of your lungs, and look up to see the most beautiful, arrogant face you've ever seen inches away from yours.
