My interpreter. Having him around only reminds me of what happened- only reminds me that five months ago, I could hear. That five months ago I could have a normal conversation with people. That five months ago I had friends. They all left you know, after I became deaf. I was part of the popular crowd, I wasn't the 'queen bee', but I was part of them. They completely left me after what happened. _____________________________ Scarlett is in her senior year, ready to leave the educational hell hole. She's so desperate to leave the school, where people give her an odd eye, wondering why she goes to a hearing school- when she's deaf. She only goes because she wants to feel normal, and being in a school filled with people like her, would not make her feel at ease. She takes life one day at a time; all alone. She refuses to let people in- fearing that she's just going to be a nuisance to them. But things start to change, when she realizes she can't handle being alone, she can't handle being treated the way she is, and that she can't handle living like she has.

The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. - - - *different summary inside* COVER: EnsurelComplete

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.
