Adeline was just a girl, was just another normal face. Average money, average looks, average grades, she was just average. She didn't mind it much, it had been part of her, the frizzy hair, the one too many pimples, and the big glasses that sat on her tiny nose.

That is, until after freshman year of high school. Adeline's had enough of it, the popular backstabbing friends, and the hot guys who pick on her constantly. Over the summer she changes, she gets the clothes, and the looks, it was her "mask". And with that, she rose to the top easily in sophomore year.

But soon, the "mask" starts to grow on her. Too used to her life as one of the good looking ones, she can't tell her real personality from her "masked" personality any more. As she desperately tries to change the things she shouldn't have done, she watches the true world unfold in her eyes. Like what it truly means to fit in, and what she's been missing the whole time. But the thing is, can you get rid of the "mask" once you got it?
