Lilley was about to start 8th grade. She was at those final days of summer. Since her last day of 7th grade,she has been terrified. Her biggest fear is that her love for Damian might die if he isn't in one of her classes. Still she had high hopes. She went to the store to get her remaining supplies for school. Then, she saw Damian.

"What am I going to do,"
