But she just walks down the halls, attempting to ignore it all.

But she just brushes it off, knowing later she'll be bawling her eyes out about that comment.
On top of the terrible school life, there's her at home life.. which isn't as great as you would think.
After losing both parents at a very young age, she feels that the only people who except her in her family are her brother, Dallas and Henry.

Until he moves to town.
Grayson Clark.
