But it isn't easy overcoming insecurities and gaining confidence when she is constantly compared to her popular and talented brothers who also go to the same high school as her. 
She meets Stephen Cutler, a British freshman, who instantly became the apple of her eye with his green eyes and thick English accent. He is perfect--well except that he's the High School Queen Bee's boyfriend.
Together they go through the toughest year in high school as freshmen with disciplinary reports, Algebra, love triangles, friendship break-ups, Queen Bees, and falling in love for the first time.

Book 2: Sophie Elaine
Elaine Perez's life has been turned upside down when Dana Ferrer, the school's Queen Bee, crashed her car at her lawn. 
One thing lead to another and the next thing they knew-they're going to be stepsisters! This was because their single parents turned out to have been high school sweethearts who rekindled their romance after the accident.
With their personalities clashing, they must find a way to live with each other even if they are both falling in love for the Boy-Next-Door and as well as Elaine getting the part as the lead as the Ibong Adarna (Dana's most-coveted role) in the school's traditional role play, Ang Ibong Adarna. 


Book 3: Junior Christine
As an active member of the Young Volunteers Club, Christine Peralta was chosen to represent Wrenchplains High School in the town's Beauty Pageant. The problem is, well, she detests beauty pageants!

Aside from balancing her time with her volunteer works, academics, friendships, and preparation for the beauty pageant, she must also support her boyfriend, Corey Madrigal, in joining a national singing competition and who might just make the toughest decision in his life.


Book 4: Senior Trio

Recovering from her big break-up, Hailey Madrigal is setting her eye to moving out of town for preparatory college but not without her mother's pleas to stay closer to home. But the course of her love life and the results of her college applications exceed her expectations in the end.

Christine Peralta became an instant celebrity for  dating Corey Madrigal, her successful musician boyfriend who dropped out of high school. 

She was also able to taste the glamourous life too as a Beauty Queen by becoming a celebrity in her own right. But is it really the life she wants after high school?

Join Hailey, Elaine, and Christine in their senior year in navigating life in the last year of high school before they move out of town to find their own places in the world.

Wrenchplains High School Series

I’m now eating with Elaine and Christine back again. I missed this routine, and I’m glad I’m back with my old life again. 


These little things like laughing over spilled orange juice and talking about scary teachers bond us.


“Are you sure he’s not Greg?” I teased.


She rolled her eyes at me. “At least Corey doesn’t sing like an idiot like Greg.” We chuckled. 


Her statement marked that she’s totally over it. “It seems like Kevin Francisco really liked Rose after all,” Elaine said before taking a bite from my burger. 


We turn to see Rose being assisted by Kevin while they are both carrying milkshakes.


“At least a guy likes her,” I said while frowning.


“C’mon, do we really need to get boyfriends? I mean, we’re Freshmen, and we need to worry about other things like passing Algebra,” Christine stated. 


Christine is always the mature one, and I guess, from time to time,  we should listen to her.
