Rejecting Hope

Ariana Raines is a quiet girl who never steps out of line. She does her best to remain hidden, get good grades and stay out of the limelight. Her only goal is to graduate from high school going unnoticed. So what happens when her ex-childhood best friend decides to ruin those plans? Ezra Hope is the complete opposite of everything she stands for. He's the school's most popular boy. He's a mediocre student at best, and he vies for her attention at every turn, because her attention is the only one he never gets.

After mourning the loss of a parent, Ezra yearns to reconnect with Aria, but her constant rejection leaves him reeling. Will he find out why they fall apart? Will he be able to reconnect? Or will he give up, and allow the more sinister parts of her life to keep playing like a record on repeat?
