But, in reality, she is the girl who doesn't give a damn what other people think of her, the girl who is crazy and completely random yet not afraid for people to see that side of her. But one thing she is afraid of is letting people in, especially ones who have hurt her before.
Now, meet Bradley Anderson. The arrogant popular boy. Bradley's changed, he acts like he doesn't care but in reality he does - somewhere deep down.

Feelings.
What happens when Bradley moves next door?
What happens when they start talking again?
Will those feelings, that died, return?
