Lilith Johnson-to the world, she is perfect. An A+ student, cheer captain of her high school, and born into wealth, she is the girl everyone wants to be. But beneath the flawless façade, she is drowning. Struggling with an eating disorder she refuses to acknowledge, she hides her pain behind a mask of perfection. No one sees the cracks. No one suspects a thing. Then there's Zain Tucker-her brother Eli's best friend. Once, Zain and Lilith were inseparable, but everything changed after one fateful incident. He began to hate her, and in turn, the friendship between her and Eli crumbled. As Eli rebelled against their parents' expectations, Lilith remained the golden child, only widening the gap between them. Zain despised her for it. His parents never stopped comparing him to her, always saying, Be more like Lilith. And so, he did the only thing he could-he resented her with everything he had. But what happens when he realizes she's not as perfect as he always believed? And what happens when Lilith can no longer keep up the act?

A pair of sky blue eyes looked back at me. Matthew. He tapped again. I got up and pulled open my window. "What are you doing here?" I asked timidly. Even though Matthew and I were neighbors, we certainly weren't friends. "I need somewhere to stay and your house is the closest." I noticed he was sporting a fresh bruise on his cheek bone. "Don't you have a friend's house you could go to?" I asked curiously. "That's the first place he'd look." he said simply but seriously. I bit my lip unsure. "Come on, Shaina. It's one night." I finally nodded and stepped away from the window. * This story contains scenes of bullying, self-harm, drugs and abuse with some mature language. *Go check out the sequel But Why Not
