The universe had its course for you. Lauren lived in the normality of bustling New York City, the occurrence of noise everywhere she went. People who ran around to places, and where tourists took a picture of the sights they had. One day, she sat on a bench in a neighborhood that was surprisingly quiet, and away from the noise she lived in. She racked her head for inspiration for her old passion of drawing, only to find a beautiful girl across the street reading a book. Lauren faced anomalies, and she came out with something better then the others. Her.

Thirteen year old Lauren got her braces. She refused to smile at anything or anyone that would involve showing the metallic linings across her teeth. The three best friends Dinah, Normani, and Ally try to make her smile, but unsuccessfully so. But, how about her not so subtle and obvious crush on her other best friend? How about Camila? Will she smile for her?
