When Victoria Hunter and Drew Richards, who were total strangers to each other, accidentally started a food fight in their school cafeteria which resulted in complete disaster, they made a deal with their principal to fix it in return for not telling their parents. But to fix it, they have to collect a large sum of money. Working together with a sweet redhead, a class-clown troublemaker, a dark sarcastic transfer and a cool reserved boy, it seems like things will get more interesting than Victoria and Drew had in mind. It was obvious from the start that Victoria and Drew had an attraction towards each other. But both being unable to understand these strange unfamiliar feelings, they chose to ignore it. But for everyone else, they understood it perfectly fine. And they’re definitely not going to ignore it.

Selma's liv vänds upp och ned när hon blir våldtagen av sin lärare. Hon blir aldrig likt sig själv igen; hennes sätt att le, att skratta och att prata förändras helt och hållet. Tankarna efter övergreppet förföljer henne vart hon än går, och de borrar in djupa sår i hennes liv. Men Selma ger inte upp. Hon vill inte ge upp. När hon äntligen tar sig modet och öppnar sig för den nya världen blir hon krossad igen. Fast denna gång med en annan anledning.
