I am a weird kid. Period. I argue over everything, and I suffer from it. Therfore, I am downtrodden. But, aside from that, my social life is a dud, my home life is crappy, really, I'm on my own in life. Except for my English teacher, Mrs. Winslow, who helps me find the place I couldn't in this world for almost sixteen years. She helps me meet Derek. We share so much, our love for literature, and I never argue with him. But, most of all, we share our love. Until he goes to college. While he's away, I feel like the scared little downtrodden girl I was before I met him. I try to keep in touch, but it seems like he's slipping away. If he was the only thing keeping me sane, can I wait a full year- without checking myself in- until I can go to him? But, what if he doesn't love me anymore? cover from: catchenchanted.blogspot.com
