Itâ€™s the beginning of a new political administration. That might not mean much at most high schools, but at Georgetown Academy, Washington D.C.â€™s most elite prep school, January 20th means new alliances, new flings, and new places to party.,While freshmenâ€”nicknamed â€œinternsâ€ for their willingness to jump into bed with anyone higher on the D.C. totem poleâ€”navigate the not-so-friendly halls of GA searching for Algebra and Bio classes, the schoolâ€™s lifers have other things on their minds.,For self-proclaimed D.C. royalty Brinley Madison (of those Madisons), the first day of school is all about establishing the social hierarchy and playing the part of perfect political wife to her boyfriend, the outgoing Vice Presidentâ€™s son. Too bad he has a wandering eye that puts Bill Clintonâ€™s to shame. Can she keep him, and her own secret vice, in check?,Ellie Walker, Brinleyâ€™s best friend, floats through the halls on the arm of golden boy Hunter McKnight (the JFK of GA). But when her ex-boyfriend, Gabe, returns to town and her Senator motherâ€™s political nemesis is reelected, Ellieâ€™s life starts to snowball out of control.,Shy, quiet Evan Hartnett is more into books than beer, and her closet is full of t-shirts and jeans instead of Jason Wu and Jimmy Choo. No oneâ€™s ever really noticed herâ€”but sheâ€™s been noticing them. When her star rises as an intern at D.C.â€™s most-watched political news show, she soon finds the two worlds colliding in ways that make her question whatâ€™s secret and whatâ€™s fair game.,New girl Taryn Reyes is all laid-back, California cool; with a father whoâ€™s in line to be the first Hispanic president, sheâ€™s ready to dive into the D.C. scene with an open mind. But when her fellow students turn out to be more interested in spreading rumors than making friends, she realizes that forging a drama-free path might be a lot harder than she thinks.,With so many new friends and former flames in the mix, things are bound to get a little heated. And while diplomatic immunity might keep the cops away, thereâ€™s not much it can do about the press.,In a town where one teenage misstep can turn into a national scandal, the students at Georgetown Academy will have to be on their best behaviorâ€”or, at least, theyâ€™ll have to make the world believe that they are.,Because thereâ€™s only one rule: whatever you do, donâ€™t get caught.,Whatâ€™s Cool from Coliloquy:,As the party scene at Georgetown Academy gets under way, authors Alyssa and Jessica let readers decide which of the main girls to follow. Youâ€™ll see scandalous behavior, unexpected liaisons, and secret betrayalsâ€¦all giving you a different perspective as events unfold.,And don't forget to take the Georgetown Academy Quiz! ,http://bit.ly/VgUgMm
