PREVIEW

Lights flashing.
Phone cameras clicking.
Music blaring.
Sweaty bodies meshed against each other in an inconceivable sea of youth and fame.
What was she doing there? Why did she let her friends drag her along to this den of...supposed 'celebration'? For the fifth night in a row.
"Okay, okay- all together now!" She giggled drunkenly. "Another shot, on three!"
Cheers erupted, some guy snaked his hand around her waist.
"One...two...three!" The taste of alcohol engulfed her senses. First stinging her tongue, then blurring her sight and finally, warming her skin- where her otherwise empty heart lay beneath.
Even more cheers, more clapping. The arm around her squeezed tighter.
"Dude, he's into you." Soobin, a friend, tittered into her ear slurringly, "Kiss him or something!"
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.
