You know that feeling of when you just don't belong in that huge crowd? And your breathing stops, your heart falling into your stomach when someone says something that's meant as a joke, but yet you want to die even more?
Meet Alexis Rays. Terrified of people. Hates crowds. Her dad passed when she was twelve, and the whole family turned against her, of course except her brother. He knows about her anxiety and depression.
Mason Collins. Typical bad boy. Popular and on the football team.
He notices that the pale, small, chapped-lipped girl sitting beside him at the table isn't eating. Is staring at her cuffs on her sweatshirt, which are soaked still from earlier. That her eyes are bloodshot despite the powder her mom forced on her skin. And when she looks up briefly at him, terrified she did something wrong, he knows.
