That kid that gets bullied every single day of their life? That kid you pointed and laughed at? The one you make rude jokes about to your buddies? The kid at school who doesn't have even a single friend? That's me. I don't get it. I haven't done anything to hurt anybody. I'm not stuck up or mean. I'm really not a bad person, I don't know why everybody laughs at me... But they've done it my whole life. I'm a senior in high school now, and things are still exactly like they were when everything started; but worse. 

I wish everybody could just leave me alone, I haven't bothered them any. They don't know what goes through my head! They don't know how I feel! They don't know what I do when I get home! They don't understand how bad it hurts! How could they? I just want it to stop!

Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option. ***** Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
