Heather Burke. Such a pretty name for a girl with such an ugly past. Falling to the victim of bullying, Heather tried to become the person she thought would give her the perfect life. A divorce, a move, and three unsuccessful suicide attempts later, Heather ended up in the city of Seattle with her aunt Sasha and aunt Emma. Hoping for a positive change, Heather's psychiatrist sends her to Seattle's Art Academy, "the school of the outcasts" as many students have nicknamed it. Will Heather be able to move beyond her ugly past and start over? Or will the move to Seattle repeat the horrid cycle? Welcome to the game of life.

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide
