MadelineKate Abernathy.
She's uhh... Let's just call her nerdy. A smart, silent, shy and easily intimidated girl. Well, that's what she'd like you to think, that is. Her best friend is Courtney Scott, the outgoing, the flirty, the partygoer.
Both rich, but not snobby, well MadelineKate isn't, and they attend the prestigious Chepswick Academy.
Where there's rich, there's power, and where there's power, there's greed.
MadelineKate and Courtney's friendship is put to the test and let's just say the answer is a no-brainer when Jet Parker is involved, but it doesn't end there because that's just the beginning of this thunderstorm.

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...
