Leyla Pons.
(Nothing to do with Lele Pons)
How to describe her.
Blond, blue eyed, pale skinned, skinny, pretty, sexy- the list goes on and on. Practically a walking Barbie Doll. She and her 'high school sweetheart' Kevin Davis, quarterback of the South High football team, are both supermodels. But Leyla has one secret. A secret she'd take to her grave. A secret /she/ doesn't even know.
She's a lesbian.
For a specific girl.
Charlie Blyke. (Bl-ah-ee-k)
And Charlie... Well, to put it nicely,
Fucking.
Hates.
Leyla.
....Right?
In a series of ups and downs, fights, sex, dares, tears, love, and loss...
Will Leyla get the girl?

If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
