Secrets Of Eden

₊⊹ show me where it hurts,
so i know
where to love you the hardest ₊⊹

It's no secret that 17-year-old Eden Clements is not the most "Well-in-the-Head" person in town.

Everyone knows how her nanny commited suicide with multiple kids in the house when Eden was twelve, they know how her real parents barely even remember her name, they know how she once vomited her guts out in the middle of English class because someone called her "Edie" as a joke.

But everything changes when she gets forced to do her history project with the boy who just arrived at the school, and yet is already better liked than her.

AJ Weston.

Funny, athletic, loud... everything Eden is not. He's the new popular boy, and she's the town's official "Dead-Girl-Walking".

As they work on the project together, he starts to became absolutely infatuated with her. But being infatuated means he begins noticing the smaller things; the flinching, the way she can barely use her right arm, and how this random boy at the school seems to utterly despise her.

And now he's determined to find out what exactly happened to her, even though it's not going to be easy.
