'Your first assignment of the year will be to write a rant. This rant can be about absolutely anything. Lost friendships, past loves, how hungry you are or how much you hate my lesson, i don't care. You're each going to write the rant addressing someone in THIS classroom however you mustn't put your name on it, you are writing this anonymously. You will not be graded on this but I will be expecting to see at least a full page of writing from everyone as I walk around the class. All rants will be read aloud by me at the end of the lesson, you have an hour. GO.'
You could say Ellie Montgomery was your slightly above average all around American girl, unlike the other plastics in her prestigious high school, Ellie didn't flaunt her newest Gucci bag or the latest Prada Sunglasses, infact you would be lucky to even see Ellie flaunt anything- herself included. She was the type of girl who everyone knew but only trusted few. She was friendly to everyone, took her grades seriously but at the same time, she had fun and used her witty sense of humour to get out of a sticky situation.
However, everything changes after the first English lesson back while attending her Senior year at Salt Lake High. Everyone is asked to write rants and someone in her class addressed one to her. That one rant affected Ellie's whole life and left her devastated. How could she make someone feel like that and not even realise?
But one things for sure, Ellie's on a mission, a mission to find out who wrote the rant and how she could possibly make things right.
This story will be filled with love, lust, anger, friendships, humour and sarcasm- lots and lots of sarcasm. So, give it a chance?
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
