Indianna has always been shy and quiet and never liked or wanted attention. This is because being noticed has never brought her anything positive. So when she starts a new school, she braces for the worst: new faces, new hallways, and everyone wants to look at the new girl. Then there is Greyson, the school bad boy, and once he notices her, he has to start teasing her.
But Indiana’s silence is what pulls Greyson closer and makes him intrigued. As Indianna tries to keep out of the headlines and in the shadows, Greyson is in her thoughts. He is dangerous in more ways than one, but somehow it appeals to Indiana. But something has to break when a shy girl catches the interest of a boy who pushes the limits.

Shy synopsis
"She's shy," Brooke shrugged, glancing at Indianna who looked like she wanted to be anywhere but in the classroom.
"Well, come on, I don't bite," Greyson urged and Indianna stiffened, just like before.
"Don't talk about that," Indianna said, her voice was still quiet but it was firm.
"Struck a nerve have I?" Greyson wondered and smirked. "Somebody likes it kinky."

"You'll be fine," her mother said and waved her hand dismissively at her. "Just be social and make friends!"
"Social," Indiana muttered and grabbed her bag from the back seat. "Sure." She climbed out of the car, ignoring her mother's happy wave goodbye. She slammed the door behind her and looked up at the brick building in front of her. It was simple. Large stone steps led up to large double doors that were flooded with many students, laughing and talking to their friends.
The students noticed Indiana.
She groaned quietly and swung her rucksack over her shoulder. She lowered her gaze as she walked up the steps that led to the school and didn't look up as she walked through the bustling corridors. She thought that if she couldn't see anyone, maybe they couldn't see her either.
She knew she was being stupid.
