• Campus Hearts and Enchanted Halls Volume 3

  The second semester of the second year of FruitLake High School begins. Harry Strictler navigates his relationship with Terry Amanda and focuses only on her. There are four classes in the tenth grade and they are ranked by merit. 10.1 is the highest,10.2 is the second highest,10.3 is the third highest and 10.4 is the lowest. Harry Strictler and Terry Amanda belong in 10.1 and help the class work their way to success before the semester ends. They do this by assisting Samantha Athens, the current class representative of 10.1(who once had feelings for Harry Strictler). However, Kelly Carlson (who is the second idol in 10.1 after Sabrina Tarantino) struggles with her own past and Harry Strictler takes advantage of her for that and promises that he will protect her no matter what, despite being in a relationship with Terry Amanda. Pushed against the wall, Kelly Carlson agreed to Harry's offer for protection. New threats arise in the form of Jacob Spinner and Sabrina Tarantino. Having been brought back to school after his toxic past with Harry and Terry's relationship together, Jacob Spinner decides to focus on his academics, since he is in 10.2 . Sabrina Tarantino is the main idol in 10.1 and is loved by everybody in class, except for Harry Strictler and Terry Amanda (who see her true colors). Because of that, Sabrina Tarantino wants to get them expelled from the school and all others who hate her or know about her dark and bloody past. Harry Strictler finds solace in his upperclassmen friends James Taylor and Roman Kristen, Terry Amanda and her sister KC Amanda, Samantha Athens,his cousin Charlotte Strictler and his rival Sarah Cascady. Sarah Cascady, however,is trying to understand Harry's true motives because she thinks that he is more sinister than both Jacob Spinner and Sabrina Tarantino combined because of his extraordinary ability to manipulate.
