Jennifer Leanne Cullen had begun to develop a fear of food at the mere age of seven, and despite her peculiar eating habits, her faultless little Christian family never bothered to notice. As she was shrinking in size, one day when having a friend over for her "dinner," her ex-roommate Josie Ballard confronted Jenifer of having Anorexia Nervosa in front of her family of four. Astonished and distraught, Cullen's
parents admitted their teenage daughter into a mental institution, in a fear that their baby girl's mind had been tainted by the devil. The petite brunette soon found herself lost in a state of disorder, with a very perturbed and dark mindset, but, as the metaphor goes, "When one door closes, another one opens." Not too long after being consigned to room 221, Jenni found herself befriending an unlikely candidate, a young schizophrenic girl aged only to the age of ten. Fascinated by the child's exemplary views on life, and idiosyncratic mind, the fourteen year old began to take the juvenile under her wing. Treating the minor as a younger sister, in a matter of time Jennifer began to unlock the true meaning of life, and discovered what it's like to have a genuine friend.
Jace Summers is someone who is always true to himself no matter what anyone else thinks of him, and he's proud of who he is. He has pastel pink hair, stunning deep brown eyes, and a sweet and silky voice that makes all of the girls swoon. Too bad he's gay though. He has been out since seventh grade and is thankful he has never gotten hate for it, not that it would have bothered him anyway.
Alec Walker is someone who everyone knows and likes, though he doesn't consider himself to be one of the popular kids. He has brown hair, hazel eyes with the perfect mix of brown and green, and his side profile could make angels swoon.
Neither of those two boys seem very different from each other, both are kind, well-liked, and very handsome. Even if they aren't friends, you wouldn't expect them to dislike each other. Well, sadly that is incorrect. Ever since they can remember, they have each hated each other with a burning passion. Jace thinks Alec is a jackass know-it-all, and Alec thinks Jace is annoying and throws his personality in everyone's faces. Those seem like very small or petty things that they could easily overcome by having a conversation, but both are too stubborn for that. It is a mutual hate that neither will give up. But when one day they get news that seems like the end of the world... it turns out to be the best thing that has happened to both of them. Not at first, but with time.
