Crybaby Carson's Not To Do List

1) Do not cry, even when it is an acceptable situation
2) Do not scream, even when no one would blame you for losing your cool
3) Do not smile or laugh, even when something amusing is happening
4) Do not make friends OR enemies, no matter how lonely you feel
5) And, most important of all, absolutely positively DO NOT fall in love.

Seems simple enough, but for Violet 'Crybaby' Carson the instrunctions were torture to follow. Like the 12 Labors of Heracles. But if she wants her past to stay buried, these are the requirements. She'll have to stay emotionless and apathetic, like every other teenage zombie at OaksView High School.

Sophmore year and she seems to be doing so fine. So far the only friend she has thinks of her as a mere acquaintance and not once has she heard her name associated with the word 'crybaby.' It seems like her plans are working, and that she'll never be found out. That is, until Maverick Vox comes around, and Violet almost breaks her most important rule because of him. The rule that states clearly, "whatever you do, DO NOT fall in love."
