"Sometimes when I say 'I'm okay', I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight and say, 'No, you're not'." -Anonymous

It's no secret that Juliet Elizabeth Dove, a seventeen year old red-head, is the most short-tempered girl at school. It's not often you'll find someone willing to talk to her; she scares everyone away. Nasty rumors spread about her and the whole school thinks she's a freak.. That is until she catches the eye of a certain boy. The first boy in school who doesn't believe the nasty facade she puts up could possibly be her real self; but a blanket she is trying to cower behind.
