\"Board<\/a>

Board Bored by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

When Chloe shows up on campus to pick big brother Aiden up, his car in the shop, the last thing she needs is for Aiden to make her late getting back home. But Aiden has a new obsession, although according to him the real obsession is everyone else’s for a new guy on campus… Grayson Sawyer.<\/p>\n

But just who or what is Grayson Sawyer, the unbelievably instant popularity, his frequent skateboarding tricks, and unnatural ability to steal any girl he takes an eye for from boyfriends only too happy to allow it?<\/p>\n

When Aiden realizes they both are apparently immune to Grayson’s charms, he confronts him… but is that a wise decision for something as powerful and somewhat bored as Grayson Sawyer is?<\/p>\n

There’s a new big man on campus, but he just might have a little g in what he truly is. <\/p>\n

Aiden has been watching Grayson Sawyer since he first showed up on campus two weeks ago, and there’s definitely more to the guy than what apparently everyone else sees. But as much as he claims to his sister Chloe, once she shows up to give him a ride home for dinner, Aiden can’t quite convince her the clear unnatural threat that creep really is to everyone.<\/p>\n

Staring across the quad to where Grayson performs skateboarding tricks on that yellow board of his, much to the thrill of his throngs of followers, Aiden tries to explain just what is wrong about the guy.<\/p>\n

Showing up late in the semester is one thing, but instantly having everyone grinning and liking the guy is unnatural, having professors and students alike all about him, forgetting all other interests is just wrong, and especially just taking the faithful girlfriend of his roommate Wyatt who somehow doesn’t even seem to care is unexplainable.<\/p>\n

Aiden knows something is wrong with the thing calling himself Grayson Sawyer, and when Chloe also seems immune of his unnatural charms, no interest in staring at every skateboarding trick Grayson does… Aiden realizes it must be in their blood. They are immune and that means he can finally confront the creepy guy face to face.<\/p>\n

But will doing so only put them in danger? Could Grayson Sawyer in fact be far more than Aiden ever suspected, a being bored and on vacation to mess around on earth? And if he is more than he seems, is his board more than it seems as well?<\/p>\n

Find out as November with all new Kreme continues to cure boredom, one way or another.<\/p>\n
