In The Other Side of Ordinary, 18-year-old Elias Garcia has always felt like he lives under the weight of his own reflection. Born with a facial birth defect, he's been accustomed to the stares, whispers, and the feeling of not quite fitting in. Growing up in a small town, Eli was never able to shake the constant sense of being "different," and he doubts anyone could ever see beyond his appearance to the person he really is. Now, starting university, Eli is ready to keep his head down, focus on his studies, and avoid the social pitfalls that plagued him in high school. But when he meets Amara, a spirited and kind-hearted art student, he's caught off guard by her warmth and curiosity. Amara doesn't seem fazed by his appearance; in fact, she seems drawn to his sharp wit and gentle soul. For the first time, Eli begins to question whether he's truly unworthy of love and acceptance. As their friendship grows into something more, Eli is forced to confront his deepest insecurities and the walls he's built to keep people out. Through laughter, shared struggles, and small acts of courage, Eli learns that love isn't about being flawless- it's about being seen. And maybe, just maybe, he might be brave enough to let someone see him for who he really is.

"Are you flirting with me, love? His voice seemed serious and he wouldn't stop staring at me "I'm not flirting with you, you're so full of yourself Asher, you think every girl in the world wants you, well they don't". I hushed myself before saying anything else. I was definitely going to get fired after this. "Well, my love," he says getting up from his seat and making his way toward me. "If I'm so full of myself then why'd you come into my office knowing I called someone else in here, hm? Exactly darling, full of myself or not you're here because you need me. He was dangerously close to me, I felt as if the air around me disappeared. I hated him, I hated him a lot. "I hate you," I said feeling myself getting weaker as the seconds went by "No you don't darling, no you don't".
