There are 4 easy terms to describe myself: Nerd, Weenie, Bookworm, and Dork
Yep, that's me. I roam around the school halls feeling pressured and bullied. But did I ask for this? No. I didn't. I don't even know why I'm treated like trash! I mean, I look okay if I say so myself. But whatever. I got used to it, honestly.
So I'm gonna tell you something about this Purple Rio girl that everyone's been talking about lately. Well for one, she is the most famous but masked sensation of our country. I don't even know if it's true, but from what I've heard, she's like a real-life siren. Everyone's dying to know what she looks like because after all, who would be contented with just a girl's captivating voice?
But there's this secret that I've been hiding from everyone for some years now. The thing is, Purple Rio is...me, a.k.a. Isabella Thorne. Impossible, right? Well I guess it is, but I can survive. ;)
So to all RiotZ! out there, you're totally in for an epic musical escapade.
