The life of a born musician is much more difficult than what the eye can see. There is a lot of pressure to get tons of things right. Such as rhythms, articulations, dynamics, tempos, tone, pitch, and many more. All everyone sees is your success. No one ever sees the work that is put into learning to play an instrument or play a piece of music. It's no different for Emma, who's grown up in a musically-inclined family. She is a natural pianist. She started playing when she was 6. She's been performing at school and in church since she was 10. She's 14 now, and she doesn't know if she can take it anymore. She struggles to find herself and who she wants to be. She learns only she can decide her future through success, failure, frustration, and happiness. Will she decide to give up her family traditions and be happy? Or will she keep them and be like everyone wants?

"And why is it you don't want to work with anyone in the band?" "I don't like anyone." I said simply. "And that is the point of doing this group activity. But now let me ask you two questions. One, Why do you put up with band if you don't like anyone? And Two, Why don't you like anyone else?" Ms. Emma asked me, leaning a bit forward in her seat meaning she expects an answer from me. "I put up with band because I love my grandma and she was always telling me to be a trumpet. She died about a year ago and I just want to honor her memory" I say looking down. "I'm so sorry Jace." Ms. Emma says, and I look up to see an emotion I hate. Empathy. I don't want her sympathy. So I changed the topic and answered the second question. "And I don't like the band because they all like her. The weirdo. She's always happy, always talking with everyone as if they are the most special person in the world, she's happy about playing more music than any of us needs to. She's so weird that it's like she's popular. She's not normal, not right. All I want to say is pair me up with anyone but her. I hate her, Ms. Emma." Ms. Emma just looks at me like I am the weird one. "And who, pray tell, is that Jace?" I was a little shocked she didn't know. Or maybe she did and she wanted to hear me say it. So I said her name just to make her happy. "Astrid." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jace Vaughn hates Astrid. All because she is weird. Or maybe he is jealous because of how "easy" her life seems to be. He's always getting bullied by his supposed loved ones, and his favorite person in the world left him unwillingly. When a band project and a few mean words make Jace and Astrid's fates intertwine, can Jace forget his hate and learn to be friends with a musically nerdy girl? and maybe, just maybe, can he learn to love again?

"What are you hiding?" Emma has no family. That's why she's being adopted. "Nothing." She is a beautiful child, a perfect child. How could anybody not want her? "What have you done?" Because there's nothing wrong with her, surely. Or at least that's what you keep telling yourself. "It's just easier if I don't tell you... And you'll do what I say or else you'll get hurt." And she's only a child. Only a seven-year-old child. So, she's not going to do anything seriously bad. Of course she isn't.
