Royce Arman, was an athlete at Bellevue High. He had scholarships overflowing, girls that didn't even know his true self, on their knees to have a chance with him. All of that attention, and he still didn't care. You may be thinking "He has to be acting right?" The truth is, no. He truly didn't have a care in the world for all of those girls, cause the only girl he had his eyes on was, her.
As for Avriel Valentine, it was the complete opposite. Avriel Valentine wasn't popular, -scratch that- literally nobody really knew Avriel Valentine. Well, nobody really knew Avriel, in Bellevue High. She had this weird, indistinctive attitude that nobody could really find out. She didn't care for attention, or what anybody else thought of her. Nonchalant? Or was it a "twist of fate" that she even existed?
This sounds like an opposites-attract story right? Oh, no, this is way and well deeper than that.
"Reality is perhaps not at all what I imagine.
