If the boy who had everything didn't want to go on, what hope was there for the rest of us? Cover by @soundthealarm

"Rocks are the future." Miriam Grover is pretty cool. And really, really busy. She's so busy it gets kind of annoying. But it gets especially annoying when she just ups and runs at the most random times. Her friends are sick of her, her girlfriend dumped her (now ex-girlfriend) and she's failing AP Chemistry. The only bright side is being President of Global Environment Initiative (GEI), a student-led service club she founded as a freshman. Now a junior, Miriam wants nothing more than to invest all her time into GEI. When she meets Mikael Kade, she discovers he has the perfect credentials for Vice-President of GEI. But he has his fair share of secrets. It's only after spending time with him does she realize: together, they were meant for greatness. © 2020, Kyromaniak, All Rights Reserved
