Scarlett Martinez has had a tough few years. After the passing of her father a flip switched in her and she lost all of her friends. Going from the River Valley Secondary School's (RVSS) most popular girl to the girl that no one wanted to be around was a bit of an adjustment. After hurting one of the most important people in her life, Nikki Vasquez, she promised herself to never get close to anyone else again and her abusive step-father and drunk of a mother don't make it hard for her to do that.
Alexander McLeod suffers from the guilt of his brother's death. After moving to RVSS Alexander became one of the popular guys at school. He's star quarterback of the football team and is dating the 'it' girl in school, Nikki. Things have been going great for him but things don't always stay "perfect".
So what will happen when these two polar opposites "randomly" bump into each other? Alex is determined to get to know this mysterious girl while Scarlett tries her hardest to keep her distance from the boy that pushes and pushes and pushes to get closer to her but it's hard to ignore the fact that everyone needs a friend.
The bruises and breaks raise suspicions with Alex... not everything can be covered up with makeup. Not to mention the fact that she jumps every time he touches her.
Will Alex be able to figure Scarlett out or will she be lost to her own monsters?
