Kara Oakland thinks she is damaged goods and that makes her doubt her self worth. She has seen horrors, although not as heavy as others, they are still valid. She doesn't put others down because of the way they dressed because she knows how much it hurts to hear someone talk about you like that. She doesn't believe rumors because she knows the pain they can cause. And, most of all, she thinks that she is just like other girls, she isn't the main character, but rather the character that gets mentioned once as a side thought. She's also more intelligent then she knows, and she could rank the highest in the world and still brush it off as luck. She has bright honey hair and dark green- almost brown- eyes that light up when she cries. She has hips and a nice body, but her tummy makes her believe she doesn't. Her face is littered with light freckles. She is simply ordinary.

She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
