Elle POV~
I hate this little town. We never have anything to do. Most of the students here are on drugs. The highlight of our weeks are going to the Friday night football games. But those just ended so we are left to nothing. This town has nothing. Not a mall, not a movie theater, barely even a park anymore (the drug addicts took it as theirs), hell we don't even get new people in town. School is no better. They do small things, but it's only to celebrate the popular kids. The only person here that keeps me sane is my best friend Lucas Helton. We've been best friends since the first grade. I remember the day we became best friends as if it was yesterday. We were in the same class. The teacher had sat us next to each other, and no matter how much I begged for her to move him (I hated sitting by smelly boys), she denied me. When he saw that I refused to smile, talk or even look at him, he told the girl next to him that he would one day be my best friend. At the time I didn't believe him, but now I continuously thank my first grade teacher for giving me my best friend. He comes over to my house every single day, and my parents treat him like he's their own son (I don't have any siblings). I tell him literally everything. He knows me better than my own parents.
