Lexi Leighton first noticed the pretty new girl in the dark hallways long after school had let out. Why would anyone hang around school so late? Seeing the same girl early the next morning getting ready for school in the restroom, Lexi's curiosity was piqued. Who is this unfriendly shadow? Why won't she let anyone get to know her? Where does she live and why won't she tell where she came from? Why is she so shabbily dressed?

When the truth comes out, even Lexi is shocked. Will she and her friends still want to befriend Angela? And once they know her secret, what are the chances of Angela wanting them as friends?

Would anyone be able to break into Angela's lonely world?
