                                                              Naughts and Crosses    


In the world of Noughts and Crosses, Noughts are Black and Crosses are white. The Noughts have all the rights over the Crosses just like 1960s America.
 The main characters of the story is Persephone Hadley (Sephy) who is a cross and the daughter of the president Kamal Hadley, the richest man in the country. Then there is Callum who is a nought and in a family of five. The two meet on the nearby beach a lot and slowly they start to fall in love. Callum who puts hard work into his schoolwork gets to go to the same school as Sephy. As you can imagine Callum
gets a very hard time, with the students and the teachers.
 Then Callum saved Sephy's life, when his father who was a member of the Liberation Militia (A terrorist organisation that are Noughts) set a bomb in the Dundale shopping Center and Callum had saved her life by dragging her out of the bombs reach. His Dad was eventually found out and was sent to prison and Callum's brother, Jude, had something to do with the incident and left before the police got to him. Then four days later, Callum's Dad was killed when he tried to escape from the prison.
 Sephy than writes a letter to Callum to run away with her, but Callum received the letter twenty minutes before she was leaving to boarding school and he had just missed her as she was being driven to school.
Three years later, Jude found Callum and said for him to be in the Liberation Militia. Callum accepted this offer because his life was becoming lonely and his mother was becoming depressed. His mission for the Liberation Militia was to capture Sephy to get her father to pay a lot of money or they will kill her and he had to this with Jude and three other high class members as he was. This was hard for Callum because he still loves Sephy, but he was grieving over the fact that her father got his father killed when he sent him to prison. When they capture her they lock her in a prison cell and force her to do a video about her father giving money to them or she will be killed if he declined. When the group went out and Callum was left with Sephy, they had sex and when they came back she started crying and Callum and Jude got into a fight and she escaped. They chased after her and Callum found her and sent the others in the wrong direction and told her how to escape.
 Sephy found out that she was pregnant and Callum that heard on the radio that his father admitted Sephy was pregnant than went out to find her. They met in the rose garden discussing about what the name of their daughter would be and Callum decides if it is a girl the baby will be called Callie Rose and if a boy Sephy would call the baby after his father Ryan. Callum then gets knocked out by one of the guards and sent to prison.
 Sephy had a choice between keeping the baby then Callum gets hanged, or Sephy has an abortion. Sephy wanted to keep the baby and Callum would not be aloud out of prison, so she decides to keep the baby.
 Callum then gets hung in front of the crowd and Sephy screaming to him of how much she loves him and Callum the same.
Callie Rose was then born at midnight later.
