Ananya, is smart, and therefore labeled as almost a geek. She is the quiet one in her class, but when she's with her friends, she's one of the loudest there. People think she is incredibly smart with her perfect grades, and her perfect rich family. But then again, not everything is as it looks.
She is just a normal girl, with normal feelings. Especially when it comes to boys, and for her its a guy she's been crushing on since her freshman year.
Maybe, just maybe, she can get her guy? But throw in her family life, and her own insecurity, and well...she's got a problem.
Sorry this summary, is just a rough draft. It'll probably change after I get through a few chapters though. Any input is also widely appreciated.
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.
