White Liar
High school can be hard enough for the average student and for Chloe Miller, this was no exception. In a short amount of time she is forced to learn the perils of her choices the hard way and the result leads her to build a wall around herself that is seemingly impossible to crack.
During her journey Chloe's mother loses her job and she is left with no choice but to move in with her cousin and their family. This means a new high school and new students.
After her troubling past she arrives on the first day with a dynamite mission in mind. A mission to reclaim everything that she had once lost at the hands of others.
Chloe quickly finds herself fighting the very same past that she struggles daily to forget and creating a future that she can live with. It becomes a constant battle for her centered around peer pressure, character stereo types, cliques and consequences. Couple that with the plight of falling in love and she finds herself playing a starring role in the game of life where everyone is playing for keeps.
Will she win... or will she lose?
