Paige Airoridge isn't the average teenager that is driven solemnly by hormones and cares only for her reputation. She is the type of girl that doesn't get embarrassed easily and can be a bit childish, silly and quirky most of the time.
Music is a big part in her life. She is obsessed with it almost as much as she is obsessed with books and collecting old, vintage stuff.
But, Alex Olivier gets in the way of her listening to her music, and then gets in the way of her normal routine, and even getting in the way of the cold facade she puts up. Soon, he is a big part in her life, but Paige doesn't want him to be a big part of her life.
