Everyone tries, some more than others, yes, but we all try.
That's what people don't understand, what they don't see.
Whether you're a nerd like Skylar Grey who tries so hard to get the A+ mark in each class.
Or if you're more popular than a nerd, say the jock like Martin MacCormack who has to go out with a girl he hates just for popularity points who tries to break up with her and do what he wants in life.
And then you could be like Lucas Walker who is cast aside, a lowlife on the food chain, the outcast, some say druggie and badass, who really doesn't have any problems apart from he likes this girl but... She is way out of his league. No matter how much he tries to talk to her he never can.
Three different people who try in different ways. Maybe... Just maybe they might find it easier to try together?
