Black hair, tropical type of girl and in the second year of high school, I live where the skyscrapers are tall, the city is crowded with seas of people, where there is a new urban restaurant at the corner of the street, and where nothing can disturb you from your sleep.
I'm a flirt, I'm the asian-looking nerd, my accent is mixed with Filipino, American and Australian, and I'm 14. I like this guy, he sadly knows me, but for a bad reason so life isn't too bad, right?
CAUTION: Contains swearing and all that shit. And there will be a lot, so please don't complain :)
-oh, and it may be based on my life right now hehe :))
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...
