I looked across to the playground where two silhouetted boys were waving at us. This was such a bad idea. How could I have been so stupid as to agree to this? Penny Danske was not the sneak-out-in-the-middle-of-the-night-in-skimpy-clothes-to-meet-boys kind of girl. But it was too late to back out. Netta was dragging me by the arm. Growing up is hard. Penny desperately wants to be accepted - she thinks that if she can become 'cool', all her problems will go away. What Penny doesn't realise is that moulding herself into something she's not, isn't the answer. When her act becomes second nature, she can no longer tell where the act ends and the real Penny begins. Penny finds friends, she finds a place to fit, and she finds love. However, what she really needs to do is find herself. The real Penny needs to be put back together. She needs to be fixed.

Iris Donnelly, at the golden age of seventeen, hasn't opened her heart up to anybody. Her philosophy is to get through her last year of high school with straight-A's and her head down. She believes that her heart belongs in her ribcage, not in anybody else's hands. Not only is the pressure of school on her though, but she has severe anxiety after her mother's death. So what happens when she bumps into Pierce Wright, also known as the school's "bad boy"? What happens when she's supposed to be his tutor? What happens when they start to tear down their masks and really get to know all parts of each other - both the good and the bad? And when happens when they become next door neighbors? ✾ DISCLAIMER: While the story has been 100% written by me, this was made to be cliché (strangely enough, it was my attempt to write a good cliché). The pictures weren't taken by me for the face claims! WARNING: This story also contains some heavy topics like anxiety, death, and self-harm. Cursing has been censored with astericks but it does have mature content (nothing sexual though).
