Gertrude Smith is a twenty year old women going through life just like everyone else. She has had her up and her downs. She seems like a normal girl: good grades, on the college swim team, has many friends, catches the eyes of many guys, and just comes out as a happy person. However, she doesn't feel this way. She has been through bullying, relationship problems with her biological father and ex lover, coping with her emotions as well as everyone else's problems, trying to fit in with her family, dealing with her mental disability, and a secret that could change her life in a good or bad way. She feels trapped, from being called names to being blackmailed by the one person who everyone looks up to. Will she be able to get through this struggle by herself or will she need to be saved by her family, friends, or the mysterious girl she met online named Kel. But who would want to help the girl who, in her eyes, is the Frankenstein creature?
I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased.
He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them."
I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not."
"Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms.
"Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic."
"Well, don't think so highly of yourself. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive."

Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world. Writing is the only thing that keeps her sane after all of the trauma she's been though.
With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough.
And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real.
Will Ashby is the all-around superstar on campus. He's practically royalty because he's the running back on the Ohio State Football team: one of the best college football teams in America. Will is the person guys want to be and guy girls want to be with. But in actuality, he'd rather blend in with the background noise. His only focus has been football and finishing his degree. That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with.
Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job.
