One group, they have it all. They're all different, and unique but together they form the most popular, most perfect group at school. There's:
Astrid Greenberg, she's bitter-sweet, and gorgeous, she's unlike anyone else, quirky, clever and speaks her mind. She's the whole package.Not everyone adores this drama queen though.
Jessica Livingston, the girliest and sweetest out of the group, she may not be the sharpest knife in the draw, but she has good intentions. Before she met Astrid, she was just that girl who people liked to pull fun at, Because she has ADHD, an attention disorder, and finds it extremely hard to focus.
Scott Hepburn, he's a very dramatic guy, who may seem odd and certainly different from most guys, but thats just what makes him fun and a great friend!
Maxine Sheppard, a tomboy-ish girl, who loves tumblr and relaxing and just chilling. She probably seems the least dramatic, but that's just on the outside! She doesn't like to play games, and is very straightforward. She makes a great friend.
Together they all have their problems but that's what makes them even more perfect. Perfectly imperfect.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
