Kate Elliot isn't trying to fit in - that's the whole point of being a goth, isn't it? Everything about her - from her hair to her clothes - screams different, and the girls at her school give her a wide berth.

How can Kate be herself, really herself, when she's hiding her big secret? The one that landed her in boarding school in the first place. She's buried it down deep, but it always seems to surface.

But then sometimes your soul mates sneak up on you in the most unlikely of places. Like Norris Grammar Boarding School for Girls, where she's serving a life sentence, no parole, because her parents kicked her out.

So, how do you take that first step and reveal your secrets when you're not sure that people want to see the real you?
