We're all walking around with these glossy eyes. "I'm just tired," we say. But you know what? It's bullshit. Yes, we are tired, but it's not from lack of sleep. We are tired of waking up with nothing to look forward to; tired of going to bed exhausted after doing a million things we find no enjoyment in doing. We're tired of this void, this emptiness that looms over us even though we're surrounded by dozens of people.

Faye Coleman is one these people.

But what happens when Aidan Keatts, the hottest guy in school changes her view on the way she sees the world?

Because we are human. We are flesh and bone. Screw the forced smiles and polite handshakes and I'm fine thank you's. Screw the fear of crying in a public place, screw the fake chipper voice, screw the lies we spit out to cover up our problems. We are intricate and beautiful and we should never hide our human characteristics. Because if we do, then what's left to show?All Rights Reserved
