Charlotte "Charlie" Avery is ugly. She's just a nerd that no one pays attention to, until a supermodel agent walked in on her while she was taking a shower. She saw potential, and just had to take Charlotte for the modeling business. So now Charlotte, the ugliest girl in her school, was shipped off to modeling school, where she meets snobs, sluts, and hunks. At first, all the guys treated her like a piece of trash since she looked nothing like a model. But then she bloomed. A year later she was heartbreakingly beautiful, with boys following her everywhere. She developed a backbone, too. Gone was the wimpy nerd, hello tough model. At least on the outside. On the inside, she was struggling to keep up with her act of indifference and superiority. She was crumbling in the inside, still not used to everything of her new status, friends, or situations. When she finally completed modeling school, she was allowed to return to school while modeling after school. Of course, her modeling identity, known as Charlie at work, was hidden from other students for comfort and safety reasons. Now, let's just see if she can handle all the lust, betrayals, and humiliations that are now knocking on her door.

Shay Cameron is nothing like her twin sister Sierra, their parents always like to point that out. It's a never ending story of "Shay, why can't you just be more like your sister?". Maybe it's because Shay's cynical and doesn't trust anybody and never has. Or maybe it's because Shay was forced into something that she wouldn't even wish on her worst enemy, something that can never be undone, or forgotten. Because of Mick, Sierra's boyfriend, Shay will never be the same person again.
