It still hurts...

They say that I'm a mystery,but I'm just Secret-I'm just me. Just synchronize your mind to me. Oh,and don't worry about my real name-just call me Secret.It may be an alias,but it's just as real as my birth name. Welcome to the beautiful hot mess that is me.

Fourteen, quiet, and invisible that's how he survives. At school, he's the kid everyone laughs at, shoves down, and calls "gross." At home, he's just in the way, a shadow in a house that doesn't want him. He's learned to keep his head down, to disappear before the hurt gets too close. Then Mika moves in next door. She's everything he isn't: loud in her own quiet way, magnetic without trying, and completely unafraid to look him in the eye. She doesn't see a ghost or a loser. She sees him. One invitation, one night on her porch, and suddenly Isaac's carefully empty world isn't so empty anymore. He doesn't know it yet, but this is the beginning of the one connection that might save him... or break him worse than ever.
