Being that corky 15 year old that I am, a social life was not one of my priorities. My day consisted of waking up, going to school, homework, then ballet practice. My name is Katherine Davis, I'm tall, and I have short brown hair. I focus on ballet and school, and that's it....period. My mother wants me to get in social gatherings but why!!! I would rather die than go to one of those, oh and so you know my life ain't one of those "fault in our stars" kinda story's, I'm just here, being me.... And some people just don't understand what being me is like. Honestly I think its great! Mom says that I should have friends by now, but if you have friends...That means drama! Drama is stupid, drama is not one of my priorities! My mom gave me this idea, to start a bucket list, it's an okay idea, so I thought I'd try it. She says for me to try to complete the list before I die, I have no clue if she is assuming that I am going to die or some thing but this is how I will make a mark on this world.
Aurora Worthington's life was a picture-perfect script, written by people who cared more about appearances than authenticity. In Encino Hills, she was the queen of the high school elite-the untouchable blonde with an icy smile and a wardrobe that could grace a runway. To everyone else, she had it all. But beneath the surface, Aurora was drowning in a sea of her own insecurities, believing that love was something reserved for people who deserved it. People unlike her.
Her world was black and white-cold and lifeless-until a lanky boy from Reseda stepped into her life.
Miguel Diaz was the kind of person she had been taught to ignore. He was earnest, kind, and completely different from anyone she'd ever known. He wasn't wrapped in the privilege of Encino; he was wrapped in hope, determination, and an unshakable belief in second chances.
It was love at first sight-well, at least for Miguel. Aurora tried her best to ignore the way his big brown eyes followed her everywhere she went or how he took every opportunity to talk to her. But the more she pushed him away, the more she felt her carefully guarded walls start to crack.
For the first time in her life, Aurora wondered if someone could see past the mask she wore-and if she was brave enough to let them.
