Chapter One

Jackie has been afraid all of her life. Bullied. Called out. Actually, most people at her school genuinely liked her. All except for one. Clayton Henry. Clayton has made fun of Jackie since elementary school and has made her high school life a living hell. She's shoved up against lockers, had juvenile pranks pulled on her, and is taunted in the hallways. All of this happens at the hands of Clayton Henry. The school masquerade dance is just around the corner and Jackie doesn't want to go but her best friend, Courtney, convinces her to attend. Everything changed at the masquerade ball.
