 Hi *waves awkwardly* 
I'm Meredith Elton... Is this thing on? *taps mic* *mic screeches* *steps back in shock* *trips on mic's cable* 
*stage sets on fire* 
Well...crap

I'm Meredith 
I'm a junior with failing grades and, like, 3 friends 
Also my brother's a grade-A jerk face
I always thought no guy would ever come near me but I guess I was wrong 
There's the new boy, Colton.
That guy I met at a party, Asa.
And the cashier at Ben and Jerry's, Timothy.
You probably think that my life as clichè as a John Hugh's film
Well...that's where you're right....

She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. 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...
