Student Bodyguard For Hire by Callie James 335 pages
When her younger brother becomes victim to Ridgeview High’s worst group
of bullies, Peyton Greene sets out to hire the most feared student in
school to protect him. It never occurs to her that the antisocial,
two-time senior won’t agree to do it, even for the large sum she’s
willing to pay.
Sam Guerra can’t afford to pick a fight at school and risk another
expulsion, but after witnessing the beginning of a humiliating locker
room beat down, he gets involved anyway. Soon more students approach him
with offers of money and requests for protection. Having zero interest
in becoming anyone’s bodyguard, he finds other students willing to take
his place for the same fee.
But everything changes when Peyton transforms the list into a
bodyguard website for a class project. Not long after go-live, she’s
struggling to maintain the burgeoning database of bullied students
matched with student bodyguards. What happens next turns the senior
class assignment into a non-profit, nationwide project that will
ultimately tear her parents' marriage apart and the town in two as it
fuels the hot topic of violence to stop violence in an already divided
nation.
