Rhea is a 15 year old now. Talented, beautiful, smart, funny, outspoken and confident. Or at least, people say so. Artistic hobbies. Over the past few years, she's been through some things that might look simple, but actually aren't. There's much behind the curtains. To her, life is crazy and fun. She's ready for the ride and the difficulties brought along with it in its train. But sometimes, she's broke. Sometimes she's confused and lost. But because of her carefree-ness, it doesn't take her time to recover. She might be young, but she's bold and wise. Rejection is a huge thing for her. Something, which might make her run after the thing never again. But if it's true love that is rejected, there can be a question mark. But, if she's said 'Never Again', it means never again.
Aurora Worthington's life was a picture-perfect script, written by people who cared more about appearances than authenticity. In Encino Hills, she was the queen of the high school elite-the untouchable blonde with an icy smile and a wardrobe that could grace a runway. To everyone else, she had it all. But beneath the surface, Aurora was drowning in a sea of her own insecurities, believing that love was something reserved for people who deserved it. People unlike her.
Her world was black and white-cold and lifeless-until a lanky boy from Reseda stepped into her life.
Miguel Diaz was the kind of person she had been taught to ignore. He was earnest, kind, and completely different from anyone she'd ever known. He wasn't wrapped in the privilege of Encino; he was wrapped in hope, determination, and an unshakable belief in second chances.
It was love at first sight-well, at least for Miguel. Aurora tried her best to ignore the way his big brown eyes followed her everywhere she went or how he took every opportunity to talk to her. But the more she pushed him away, the more she felt her carefully guarded walls start to crack.
For the first time in her life, Aurora wondered if someone could see past the mask she wore-and if she was brave enough to let them.
