"Kane," I speak quietly before sobbing into my pillow, "I'll never be good enough." I say once again before continuing, "All those girls are prettier, smarter, cooler, more athletic, and so much more bette-"
"Let-" He began to say before I interrupted him by putting my finger to his lips. He stopped speaking, and gave me a look that I was unable to recognize. Before I could continue, I was wrapped in warm arms, obviously belonging to Kane.
"Letyn Lime Lewis," Kane began, "Not one of those girls are better than you. In fact, you are so much better than them."He says sighing, understanding that I will never believe that. "You are perfect. You know exactly who you want to be, you are not just pretty, but beautiful. You are you, and that's why I love you Letyn." He speaks, loosening his arms a small bit to kiss me on the nose, and giving us a chance to have eye contact.
"Letyn. They will never be above, only ever below you, below us."

Letyn Lime Lewis. A girl that is so insecure, you question if she even has any confidence. From being talked about at home and school almost every day, you can't blame her. Even if she has a very, very low self-esteem, she still has the biggest crush on the school's golden boy that every other girl has a crush on, Kane Milton. When Letyn is forced to do a singing contest with Kane, she does not realize that she is also being forced into what may become the rest of her life.
In a life where school is nothing like High School Musical, Letyn can only dream that it will be over with soon.
