Love and Other Lies

Anna Marie lives in small town Pendleton, Oregon. She goes to the only high school uncreatively named Pendleton High School. At a young age she was molested by her "father" who she does not acknowledge and calls him the "sperm donor". She is panicked of anything sexual or affectionate. The sperm donor moved away to Minnesota when she was eight, leaving her with her druggie mom and her abusive boyfriend, she got out of the house and now lives with her grandma and her husband. She finds dating unnecessary in high school, until she met Dimitri. Will she find a way to work around her fears or just push him and her feelings away?

Dimitri is new to Pendleton High School, He doesn't know any one in this small town and is already missing the city life. He spots a loud obnoxious girl and immediately is curious, because even though she is loud, she has a bubble around her. He wants to get to know her but already knows it's going to be difficult, not only is he new but she looked almost guarded. maybe he's playing with fire... and he really hopes he doesn't get burned.
