Everyone in Skylar's life is oblivious. They don't see the tears she sheds every night. They don't see the cuts covering her thighs. All they see is a popular girl with no worries at all.

They couldn't be more wrong. 

Skylar was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety when she was just 13. 

It went away after a year but, it's back. It's been back, actually. 

Her parents don't see it. She plasters a smile on her face and acts like the funny, happy girl she once was.
The same with her friends too.

But when Corbin, the most popular senior at the school, notices her, he is instantly drawn in.

Will Corbin accept Skylar for what she is? 

Or will he brand her as "weird?"
