The Ugly One

Jane is a teenager in high school who is not very confident about her looks, as her sister is said to be the most beautiful. She likes to stay in the shadows in high school while her sister, Lilianna, revels in the limelight. 

Jane hates living in Lilian’s shadow, but things go even worse when the school bad boy, Jake, asks Jane to be his wing woman to capture the heart of Liliana. This is an offer Jane can not refuse, and things get even worse as she meets his older brother, Aaron.
