Is the person that you show the world the person that you really are?
         
  Sixteen-year-old Layla Young is the perfect teenager every parent wishes that they had. She does well in school, is hardly ever spotted outside of a classroom, and would never be caught dead at a party. With her goody-two-shoes personality, everyone thinks that they've gotten her all figured out. She plans to keep it that way. 
        
  Layla keeps the world at a distance so that no one can learn the truth, that she's wearing a mask.
        
  That is until one day Layla slips up and lets the mysterious Daniel Walsh catch a glimpse of the real her in one rooftop meeting. Now suddenly Daniel is determined to find out what exactly is underneath that mask of hers and secrets that Layla promised to herself that she would never share with anyone are now at risk of coming to the surface. 
          
  Will she let him in enough to figure them out? With one unexpected bet, Layla's mask might just be starting to crack.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
