It's a bit of a love story...and also not.
Picture this: it's 2016, senior year of an average American high school. Popular kids, not-so popular kids, and the outcast. Enter Bruno Kelly Alano, a girl from halfway across the country with a personality that's earned her a variety of names - but the one she holds with pride, is "Loca." The girl everyone knows as the lunatic.
Growing up with a rough life, she's led herself with a particular mindset that she's better off alone. Friends have come and gone. She's built up the armor to take a hit from the rest. Talking, communicating her deep thoughts and feelings just wasn't apart of the tricks up her sleeve. But then, like the age-old saying - he came into her life and changed it entirely.
He's the sweetheart, popular kid. Not a bully, not a bystander, but someone who sticks up for others. Captain of the soccer team, everyone's looked at him as "perfect." The only oddity is for the past two years, everyone who knew him since kindergarten feel he's become much more reserved. Withdrawn. Son of some of the wealthiest people in America: Carter "Niko" Talivinci. Little did he know, hitting it off with the school "freak" would impact his life just as much.
Two totally different people, from virtually two entirely different worlds. A rich boy and a lost cause. A know-it-all communicator, and a forgotten daughter. Their last year in high school, they learned much more of themselves and each other. That they could love again, heal one another's wounds, and share some outrageous memories involving the law, mental health, laughs, jerks, new friends, old friends, and much, much more. But, will love be enough to rescue her from herself?
