"Thanks..." I mumbled.
"For what?" Lucas asked, staring at me; with his eyebrows furrowed.
"For being a good person. There are not a lot of people out there like that." I told him, referring to mostly everyone at school.
"Of course there are, Macey. You're just not looking in the right place."
----
Macey Owens isn't exactly popular. Scratch that, she isn't popular at all. In fact, she has absolutely no friends. Being the school's outcast doesn't exactly earn you a spot at the popular table with the elite Lexi Abrams and her crew. Just the opposite, in fact. So when Macey bumps into sweet and quirky Lucas Matthews, after one of Lexi's tauntings, she expects him to walk away like everyone else.
But what happens when he doesn't?
What happens when he wants to save her from Lexi?
And more importantly: save her from herself?

I'm certain in a few months time they won't love me or want me to stay with them. "I'd love to stay but-" I begin to say before they all interrupt me. "Then that's final-" "You can stay-" "Please stay-" "I don't have clothes here," I state the obvious.
