Dear Diary,
This is my first time ever writing something like this. I've never really been one to express my thoughts or feelings in writing, but lately, I've been compelled to...
Anyway, let's write something simple first. My name is Kai Jefferson. My appearance? Well, it isn't too fancy. I've always had short white hair, that's a constant. When I look in my bathroom mirror, I see a bunch of attempts at straightening my messy hair, but it never really matters; it's always like a bird's nest.
When I look at myself in the mirror, I can't help but feel like a misplaced figure. Not my favorite thing to think about myself, but it's true. I've been told countless times that I stand out like a sore thumb, especially in a place like Jefferson High.
My secondary gender? Well, life here is all about secondary genders. For the most powerful, it depends on your secondary gender. And I just so happened to not get any luck.
An Omega. That's me. In a world of anthropomorphic folks, being an Omega isn't exactly a blessing. It's like starting the game with the worst character class, no special abilities, no flashy powers. Just plain, ordinary me.
But hey, enough about that. I don't want to dwell on it too much.
Now, here's something about me that I can't help but share. I'm a big fan of strawberries. No, it's not just because I have a sweet tooth; I simply love sweets in general. There's something about the tangy sweetness of strawberries that I can't resist.
Oh, wait.
Maybe I'm sharing too much about myself. I shouldn't be revealing so many personal details. But here's one more thing I can't help but admit: Today is my first day of high school. And let me tell you, this is going to be one hell of a year.
I guess that's all I have to say. I suppose. It was really fun. Maybe I should do this more often.
Oh well, see you next time I suppose.
Your lovely deer.
Nope too weird. I'm going to just end it here. Bye...
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
*****
Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
