Noughts and Crosses

Persephone 'Sephy' Hadley is a Cross, daughter of a prominent politician, Kamal Hadley and one of the upperclasses of society. Callum McGregor is a nought, the exact opposite of Sephy. They used to play together when Jasmine Hadley -Sephy's mother- employed Meggie McGregor (Callum's mother) as a Nanny. However, Jasmine fired her when Meggie could not provide an alibi for Jasmine when her husband confronts her about his suspicions of her infidelity. Since then, Sephy and Callum's friendship has been secret. As best friends, their relationship is frowned upon by society. After that, Callum's brother and father joined the Liberation Militia, a violent terrorist organisation supposedly aimed at promoting equality between the two races.

Callum is one of the first noughts to start at Heathcroft High, Sephy's exclusive school. Sephy was happy to know that Callum has joined her class.

After not hearing from Callum for a long time, Sephy decided to have a new start at the boarding school Chivers. She sent a letter to Callum telling him to run away with her, if he doesn't contact her then she'll leave to attend the boarding school. Unfortunately the letter didn't reach Callum and when Sephy left, she thought that their friendship isn't as important to him as it is to her.

Years later, Sephy returns home from Chivers and finds a letter sent by Callum saying that they should meet up. When she got there, she finds Callum standing with the other members of the Liberation Militia. they kidnapped her and brought her to their hideout. The members of the L.M. delivered a message to Sephy's dad telling him to release at least five Liberation Militia members from prison and pay a sum of money if he wants to see Sephy alive. a member of the L.M. worked for Sephy's dad but the other members didn't know and so in the end, 1 was killed and the other put in jail. Callum then came in and freed Sephy. Later on, they had a baby and decided to name it Callie Rose if it was a girl, and it was a girl. Unfortunately Callum was arrested. when he was about to be hang, he heard Sephy screaming "I love you" so he shouts it back without knowing if she heard it or not.
