"To the world, I am a nobody. I am nothing but a dark shadow who daydream's from dawn until dusk. I am nothing..." For Chase, life was nothing. He was nothing. He trudged through his boring life doing the same old thing with the same old routine; wake up, go to school, go home, go to bed, repeat. He was always daydreaming and was constantly depressed. And at school, nobody even noticed him. He was like a shadow, a fly on the wall. Nobody cared about him. Until one day, he befriends the new girl in school with the littlest of intentions. But, little did he know that the new girl would change his life, and his heart, for the better...
Aurora Worthington's life was a picture-perfect script, written by people who cared more about appearances than authenticity. In Encino Hills, she was the queen of the high school elite-the untouchable blonde with an icy smile and a wardrobe that could grace a runway. To everyone else, she had it all. But beneath the surface, Aurora was drowning in a sea of her own insecurities, believing that love was something reserved for people who deserved it. People unlike her.
Her world was black and white-cold and lifeless-until a lanky boy from Reseda stepped into her life.
Miguel Diaz was the kind of person she had been taught to ignore. He was earnest, kind, and completely different from anyone she'd ever known. He wasn't wrapped in the privilege of Encino; he was wrapped in hope, determination, and an unshakable belief in second chances.
It was love at first sight-well, at least for Miguel. Aurora tried her best to ignore the way his big brown eyes followed her everywhere she went or how he took every opportunity to talk to her. But the more she pushed him away, the more she felt her carefully guarded walls start to crack.
For the first time in her life, Aurora wondered if someone could see past the mask she wore-and if she was brave enough to let them.
