Life will never be the same again. She goes to a new school and meets many new people. It's not any way what so ever the same. There's the giggly girls, the divas, the football team, the nerds, the populars, and the nobodies. Taylor is thrown into a group all by herself for no one wants her. That's when Taylor meets another boy. A boy that's just the same as she, except, everyone loves him. He refuses to be thrown into any group what-so-ever. He's by himself, just like Taylor. When they meet each other, they bonded instantly. The boy named David, thinks that Taylor is amazing and that she should take his place so that he could be her. Taylor wants it the other way around. While David hangs out with Taylor, things begin to change. Things begin to change in many ways, not just them, but the whole school.
