Aurora struggles with something no one would suspect her struggling with. She hides it well, among other things. She's seemingly perfect. Her voice is soft and angelic. Her blue-green eyes look ethereal. She is literally named after a Disney princess. She gets straight A's. She figure skates and does horseback riding. She volunteers at almost every event, refusing to accept money. She has multiple close friends, none of which know her secret. Wait.., what secret? Anyways, due to her.. problem.. her mom sends her to a private summer camp, owned by an Academy. She got accepted into this academy, Winnwood Academy, therefore making her go to this summer camp. On the bus ride there, with everyone else.., well, she finds out something that will change her course of life forever.
Asher, though, is practically the opposite. Instead of studying, he's causing fights. He does hockey and football. He has dark brown eyes that glisten in the sun and hates volunteering. His mindset is, 'If it's not making me money or happy, it's not worth it.' He's just joking around and rating the girls' looks this year while on the bus with his friends, when a bubbly person enters his life in the most unexpected way possible.
