Carson

Carson Montgomery is the definition of an entitled golden boy—rich, popular, and an absolute menace. With his effortlessly messy dark hair, sharp blue eyes, and a smirk permanently glued to his face, he thrives on making my life miserable. At school, he’s the guy everyone loves, the one who gets away with everything. But at home? He’s my worst nightmare. Ever since our parents got married, we’ve been locked in an ongoing war of pranks, sabotage, and pure pettiness. He steals my car keys, I dye his shampoo green. He fills my room with balloons, I replace his protein powder with flour. It never ends. But the worst part? He loves teasing me in public—riling me up in the hallways, making sure everyone knows I’m his “favorite” step-sibling (as if I’m the only one). The smugness in his voice, the way he leans in just to get under my skin—it drives me insane. Too bad our parents are gone for the next month. This war? It’s just getting started.
