There are two different kinds of people when it comes to the colour red. Many view it as a symbol of love and fulfilment whereas others see the colour as danger and heartache. Though that is all we do. See it from the outside looking in.
However, for Arden St. Claire she is living inside the colour red.. though she's living on both sides of the vision.
For Arden, life is.. rough. Worse than it should be for a 17 year old girl. She's stuck in a constant loop of pain and just when she decides that she has had enough, a strong pair of arms find their way around her and make her forget all of what she once worried about. The catch is.. this person happens to be the most popular guy in her high school, a year older than her and his name is . . .
