In case you came here to read a happy story about a happy person having a happy life, I suggest you simply go read something else. This is not a happy story, neither a story that will make you feel nice.
This is life. This is Charlotte's life, the life of a seventeen year-old 'social outcast'. At least, this is how everyone defines her. "Why?" you may ask. Because, she had always been different; her appearance, her attitude, her social background just do not match with the kind of person you would like to meet.
Cigarettes, drugs, abusive relationships, alcohol, depression, a past that will always haunt her, bad luck, the Underground and a pair of old, dirty Dr Martens boots is all her life is made of.
She wanders around like a ghost, trying to find the meaning of life, until she meets Mason, the crazy boy, and her life is about to change. Will she ever get over her problems? Will she ever stop being the 'outcast' and have a normal life? Maybe she will.
But maybe not.
"You can't say stuff like that" I mumble, and he chuckles. "And why cant I?".
"Because we're friends" I say, reminding both him and myself. I dont miss how Cameron's smile drops a little from my reminder, but he plays it off and nudges my shoulder.
"Indeed we are pretty girl. So I suggest you quit blushing around me. That's not what friends do".

Charlotte Hendrix. Everyone at school views her as sweet, innocent little Charlotte. And although she is sweet, she's not as innocent as everyone thinks.
Cameron Cooper. The new boy. The kind, funny boy who hides his shitty life with a big smile on his face. The boy who tries help everyone but forgets himself.
What a perfect match.

After having a small, awkward interaction with the new guy while rushing not to be late to Ms Parkers math class, having to eat lunch together with friends was not what Charlotte expected. But when left alone, with the help of three milkshakes, a friendship forms between the two.
Well..its a bit more complicated than a simple friendship.
Feelings are quickly formed, but its never that simple. Add some denial, a few milkshakes, alot of toxic friendship, and a bit of fighting feelings, and you end up with this hectic story.
