Art. That's what I love to do.
I'm Charline Russelton, the school's ugly nerd. That's what they call me.I'd usually go sit alone in the 'paradise' with my best friend, Noelle Banks and I'd draw all the time.
----------------------------
Meet 16 year old Charline Russelton. The number one nerd and freak in her school. But she's also secretly known as 'Chiffon' in Deviant Art, an e-community art website.
Nikolai Freeman is a popular, famous, smokin' hot guy which everyone in the school literally hero worships him.
But one encounter with Nikolai as Chiffon and not as herself changes everything. Charline's trying to keep Chiffon a hidden identity from the school. But how could she when Nikolai is trying to work out who the beautiful Chiffon is.
There's also Noelle, Charline's wild and secretive best friend who smiles (creepily) at all situations. There's Kagen, Nikolai's best mate and the school's popular bitch, Tiffany which Charline hates with all her guts.
It's high school, peeps. And high school life wouldn't be complete with a heck load of drama, romance, broken hearts and studying.
*Btw, this is kind of inspired by the anime 'Strawberry 100%'. If you sort of know the plot, then you'll understand this story a bit better :)
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
*****
Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. 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...
