"You are kidding, right? Damn, I'm surprised you haven't noticed." He shook his head is disbelief.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him.
"Viviana, I've been in love with you since the first day we met," he told me.

Now, who was it that was suddenly confessing? Well, we're going to have to start from the beginning.
Viviana was a senior who attended North Valley High School. She lived the life as the best friend of the high school's golden boy, Conrad Evans. He meant everything to her and she would do anything for him. I mean, I guess that's what happens when you fall for your best friend, right?
However, everything changes once the new boy comes to town. Nicholas Avery, the cute soccer player who had charm and charisma on his side. He immediately finds a way to wiggle his way into Viviana's life. When the two of them get closer, she begins to realize that she might like him too.
As time passes and life goes on, things begin to complicate. People aren't the same as they used to be, neither are feelings. College was just around the corner and Viviana is forced to make a decision about who her heart truly belongs to. Her mind swivels with worry, thinking that if she does choose one, she will loose the other.
In the end, there can only be one boy. So who will it be?
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.
