It's just a cut. It's just a scratch.
""What's that mark?"
"Oh, it was just the cat."
Just an excuse, just another lie, just as every day goes by.
"What's with all the braclets?"
"Just a fashion, why?"
Just a tear, just a scream.
"Why were you crying?"
"Just a bad dream"
But it's not just a cut, or a tear, or a lie
I'm just preparing for the fated day of good-bye.""
Lola Carmen is different. She's eccedentesiast (a person that fakes a smile) and is a proffessional at it. Everyday she walks into school, with a fake grin spread across her face. She doesn't trust anyone, everyone she was ever close to has betrayed her. In school, she pretends, she plays it off like the perfectionist she is. At home, that's where she reveals herself. But when a new student arrives at Rideview Highschool, with his dreamy British accent, stunning good looks, and charming personality, his popularity booms and it isn't long until he meets Miss. Popularity of herself- Lola Carmen. He sees past her perfections, and notices her fake smiles. He tries to get close to her, but all she does is push him away.
He could tell that quite place inside of her was getting louder, and he found himself falling for her as he's trying to figure out the mystery that lies behind the real life of Lola Carmen.

"He rests his forehead on mine and closes his eyes. Instantly, my eyes flutter shut. I can feel his lips so very near to my own. "Mia...I'm not him." he says almost like a whisper. His lips almost brush mine. "Please... I need you to try and trust me." If only he knew what he was asking of me.... "
What would you do if you found out that your entire relationship might have been a lie?
Did he ever really care about you? Did he ever feel the way you felt? Was it all just a game to him?
What if, the one person you thought you could trust, the boy you loved, destroyed your entire image of him in one night? Would you lose yourself?
Well, that's what happened to Mia. It's been a year since she decided she loved Sean. It's been a few months since he broke her heart. It's been a week since he came back to stomp on the pieces. She feels like she's completely lost who she is. She doesn't know if she'll ever be that person again.
Until she meets Hunter. And all that begins to change...
