I looked across to the playground where two silhouetted boys were waving at us. This was such a bad idea. How could I have been so stupid as to agree to this?

Penny desperately wants to be accepted - she thinks that if she can become 'cool', all her problems will go away. What Penny doesn't realise is that moulding herself into something she's not, isn't the answer. When her act becomes second nature, she can no longer tell where the act ends and the real Penny begins. Penny finds friends, she finds a place to fit, and she finds love. However, what she really needs to do is find herself. The real Penny needs to be put back together. She needs to be fixed. - Saving Arielle (2015 re-write) Ongoing

Or will a budding new romance be enough to scare her away from the possibility of change instead?
