Hmmmm........ This story is about a girl, Ellie, who hasn't had the greatest of experiences, and wishes she did. She was normal; well, she kinda was, until shit hits the fan. So, she's 17 now and she's really cool and beautiful. She's thinks the world is corrupt and can't save itself, and in this case, that is COMPLETELY true. Surprisingly, many eccentric events happen, and along with her best friend, Will, their world is flipped upside down. Who knew a street rat would get picked up by a royal?
By the way, I'm open to all comments on this story. I'd prefer to see if people actually read it, and it's not just my friends who are repeatedly trying to see if I updated the story. So yeah. R&R please! ^-^
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.

Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
