When she was younger she was that shy, weak, poor, pathetic little girl that no one really cared about. She has been abused, bullied, and used. She ran away at the age of 14, now she is back. She is different, stronger, prettier, and more dangerous. She's not the sweet, scared, and shy little girl anymore. She's 17 now and going back to school, with every guy head over heals wanting her and every girl wanting to be her. Living in a 5 star hotel's penthouse now with all the money and respect she wants. But this time she has a lot more secrets to hide and she isn't alone. Her closest friends are with her and will do anything to keep her safe, healthy, and cared for.
