Now, you might be wondering what the hell is that annoying sound, well that is the schools fire alarm which I just set off and am now running to save myself from Detention......
(UNFREEZE IMAGINARY CAMERA)
"Hu,ehh,aghh," those are the sounds of my heavy breathing and current activity,
which is me trying to get to class on time after having being dared to set off the fire alarm by my best friend, Jasmine.
'Curse her for making me do this' I thought while rounding the corner that leads to my 2nd period; English with Ms. Donavin.
I thankfully made it on time, but just as i sat down i heard the worst thing in my entire life:
'Miss Knight you are to be reported to the principals office'
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...
