Allison kicked the door after banging it closed,shutting out the barking voices.It didn't matter,no one would hear her little tantrum anyway.She cursed at the pain beginning to throb in her right foot,not caring enough to rid herself of the soaking jacket that no longer served its purpose.
She threw herself on the oversized bed, wiping away the stupid tears that insisted on falling.Heading for the only thing that could keep her sane in moments like these, she stretched across the bed,fishing out her tangled earphones.After comfortably placing both buds in her ears,and connecting the earphone wire with her phone,her fingers lingered over the lit screen,contemplating on which song would best calm her nerves.Closing her eyes in frustration,a few more tears fell,and it was then,she could swear, her heart actually stopped beating,out of shock from the voice that echoed in her ears,coming from none other than her earphones.
"Hello,can anyone hear me?" an unfamiliar voice spoke.

Allison Novac outwardly portrays a 'normal' & 'perfect' life. After all, those were the fundamental requirements for living in Goodwind, a town of pretty houses, fake faces and empty souls. So it doesn't make sense to anyone when Allison's boyfriend commits suicide, leaving a broken Allison to pick up the pieces and face the consequences of everyone else's wrongdoings.
Allison suddenly becomes the talk of the town, wanting nothing more than to block the horrid voices, Allison places her earphones in her ears. But the voices don't stop there, and this time Allison doesn't want to shut them out, for they are the only thing keeping her sane.

Before I knew it my shirt was torn away from my torso and tossed on the floor, Charlie's doing the same. Our kiss intensified and I felt him groan against my lips. I swear to god, this boy is making out with me like his life depends on it!
And that's when reality punched me in the gut... the words 'this boy' kept running through my head over and over again until it got through the thick fog of vodlka and whatever else was in those stupid drinks.
I, Ace Loughty, was kissing a guy. A fucking guy. A fucking straight guy named Charlie Simmons who of course had to be one of the most popular dickheads in Meadow Ridge High.
I am so unbelievably fucked.

17 year old Ace Loughty was never one longing to be in the spotlight. In fact, he craved the exact opposite: being left alone. When Ace was 13, the tragic death of his younger sister Eleanor caused him to rapidly gain popularity and pitiful looks. He hated the attention. All of a sudden everyone wanted to be friends with the dead girls brother, they'd promise Ace he would never be alone that they would always be there for him, which he of course knew was untrue, they're all just hungry for attention. Sometime later the school moved onto other drama and gossip, things started to die down and people finally left Ace alone. He moved on with his life, convincing himself he was over Eleanor's death and as quick as the whole thing started, he returned to being lonely, weird, quiet nobody Ace. Just how he liked it.
That is until 4 years later when he found himself sprawled out on a bed. With Charlie Simmons hovering over him. Charlie Simmons who was kissing Ace like he would die if he ever dared to stop. Which was all too true. Without kissing Ace, Charlie was as good as dead.
