This is a confession of a girl who has a secret but not a secret that makes her different from others. She has a condition called bromhidrosis, which causes her to emit a foul smell from her body. She feels ashamed and insecure about herself. She thinks that no one will ever like her, love her and accept her for who she is. She thinks that people might think she's unhygienic and no self care. Her name is Mei. She is a pretty-cute girl, but she does not believe it. She hides behind her silence and her solitude. She avoids people and social iteractions. She does not have many friends, and she does not trust anyone. She fears that people will notice her odor and mock her, judge her and reject her. People often wonder about her. They do not know what she is going through. They do not understand how she feels. They sometimes make assumptions and judgments about her personality and behavior. They think that she is snobbish, mean, weird, awkward and strange. They do not care to ask her and listen to her. They do not offer to help her and support her. She feels lonely, sad and hopeless. She dreams of finding someone who will understand her and love her for who she is. She hopes that there is someone out there who can look past her condition and see the beauty of her soul and heart. This is the true story of mei-mei, a girl who lives with bromhidrosis at early age, social anxiety, depression and thyroid disease. This is the story of her challenges, her desires, and her aspirations. This is the story of how she discovers genuine love and happiness despite her difficulties.

"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle!

It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.
