First impressions are important right?
But never judge a book by its cover...
‘cause behind ever smile, someone is hurting.
Behind every action, there is a reason.
Some people can be read like an open book. While others, are left a mystery...
So what gives us the right to judge others? We don't know what‘s happening to that girl everyone calls a ‘nerd‘, or the guy everyone makes fun of. Hell!, you dont even know what other people say behind your back. So why judge others, if you‘ve never walked 100 miles in their shoes...
(Evanjaline) Eva Fasé Hamilton, your typical misjudged 16 year old.
No one knows what‘s really going on behind her smiles, not even her ‘friends‘. She's the kind of girl where you have more of a chance of hell freezing over than her breaking a rule. (even swearing)
She has one of those smiles that makes people double take while passing by.
Everyone took her as one of those easy to read people, an easy going teenager without a worry in life. But what is really going on behind her cheerful smiles, and why is she hiding it all behind a smile?
After loosing her parents in a car crash, Eva recieves news from her only living relative, her uncle Max. she knew him quite well, so moving in with him until she reached 18 didn't sound so bad. But, little did she know he had moved to America a few months ago...
