Labelled

Isabella Beaufort is the definition of an outsider. She's spent most of her high school career being labelled by her fellow students, ostracized to the extent that she's practically invisible. Just because she's different. Now in her senior year, middle school and a life with friends seems a lifetime ago. Childhood seems a lifetime ago, and she's only just turned 17.

But maybe this year will be different. When footballer Jayden Meyers chooses to partner her in a media project, and she's assigned a seat next to the bubbly cheerleader Ellen Whittmore in English, a beautiful cliché falls perfectly into her lap. But the question isn't whether or not she wants it; she's missed the feeling of having friends. No, the question is whether or not this cliché is still going to want her if it discovers about what happened to her when she was only 13.
