The Pursuit of Knowing Her

Aria Caldwell was as normal as it got, or so you would've thought. Taking a simple glance, you wouldn't have noticed the bruises slightly visible through her makeup, or how broken she looks. You wouldn't be able to see how hard she works for a slight chance that her parents might look her direction. You wouldn't be able to see how she sees herself, unloved, ugly, a freak, a waste of space, unwanted, fat, and everything that her older brother isn't. You wouldn't be able to see how she hides in the shadow of her brother. But of course you'll only ever be able to see her as a normal teenage girl, along with everyone else. That is, until a certain boy known as, Spencer Kingsley pushes his way through Aria's thick disguise, in pursuit of seeing who she truly is, which is exactly what mortifies Aria.
