Evie Whitelock has always been strange. She keeps to herself for the most part, and is the only person at Seraphon Academy who rides the swing stage to talk to the window washers. However, as soon as she retires to her dorm and logs online, everything changes.
Evie, here known as Roseabella Martincore, writes and sings songs for her followers. She's in a band, she writes fan fiction, and is always the first to talk to everybody she meets. For Evie, the Internet is heaven.
Until, one day, Valerie Renasol, a normally soft-spoken girl, discovers Evie's secret. She only agreed to be quiet on the front that Evie does as she's asks, even if this includes things and people that girls like Evie should never get involved with.
