Renna
Imagine your mum leaving you, because she had had enough. Imagine your dad dying in a tragic accident, causing you to live alone. Imagine your best friend taking you under his wing, because that's just how he is. Could you imagine it? Well for 17 year old, Renna Stratford, she doesn't have to imagine it, cause this is her life. And guess what? You get to come along for the journey. You get to share all the squeals, cringes, and tears that She goes through. Renna has always been on the more quiet side of things. Her happy place was with pizza and movies, and maybe a little bit of ice cream. Then your parents disappear off the face of the earth. It's your classic, mum leaves dad, dad dies, situation. So what do you do when your alone? Find someone to live with of course. But what happens when someone new comes into the picture? You would either want to befriend them, or pretend like they don't even exist.
Zane
Imagine thinking that your life is perfect. Imagine having everything you ever wanted, just by asking. Imagine one terrible event, causing you to forget that perfect life, and move away. This is Zane's life. He was his schools bad boy, everyone feared him, besides the people he hung out with. And the people who stood up to him, well, let's just say that by the end of it, there nose would be where the eye should have been. Zane is your average, cocky, good looking teenager that any girl would fall in love with. That is, until one night. All I'm telling you is that it had something to do with a party, a car, a drunk person, and a fight. When you get to your new life, you would obviously have to go to a new school. And at that new school, the same caked faces, alpha males, and brainiacs that you would find at any school. But what happens when one girl stands out from all of them? Would you try to befriend them, or pretend like they don't even exist?
Will these two sink like stones, or shine, like diamonds
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me."
The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing."
The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile.
Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?"
Her smile widened. "Nothing."
Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life.
Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her.
They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface.
