Empress of the World
Checking Availibility...Description
Nicola Lancaster is spending the summer at the Siegel Institute Summer Program for Gifted Youth - a hothouse of smart, articulate, intense teenagers living like college students for eight weeks. Nic's had theater friends, but never just friend friends. And she's certainly never had a relationship. But on the very first day, she falls in with Katrina the Manic Computer Chick, Isaac the Nice-Guy-Despite-Himself, Kevin the Inarticulate Composer... and Battle. Battle Hall Davies is a beautiful blonde dancer from North Carolina. She's everything Nic isn't. Soon the two are friends - and then, startlingly, more than friends. What do you do when you think you're attracted to guys, and then you meet a girl who steals your heart?
