Junior year was a tough year for Carlo Monaghan. In a constant battle between anxiety, a crush, and a longing to be relevant, he clambered through the third year of high school, dragging his two best friends behind. Junior year for Max was... well to say the least, weird. Not even Carlo knew how things were at home. And for Shauna, Junior year was hell. Maybe if she just ignored the F's lining up on her report card, they'd go away. Unfortunately for her, they don't. Each of them caught up in their own messes, their story unravels, beginning with Monnie's basement and a few bags of Doritos.

In the year 3062, every child is given a job the day that they're born that they must carry out from the age of fourteen until the end of their lives. Emma Wolfe, a fifteen year old girl from Arkansas, is one of only twenty people chosen to be writers in the entire country. The only problem? Emma hates writing. -------------------------- I shoot up, dropping my pizza back into the box. "Why does nobody listen when I tell them I can't! I'm not who you think I am, and I never will be." I try to storm away, steam practically shooting out of my ears. "Where are you going?" Black calls after me. I don't reply. "How are you supposed to get home without the car?" I stop short, every muscle in my body tightening. Slowly, I turn back around, my hands balled tightly into fists. "If you say one more thing about my writing while I'm here, I swear to god I'll run away." "Em-" "Test it out," I walk right up to her, getting so close that I can feel her tense breath on my face. "I dare you." Black isn't stupid, and neither am I. ------ COVER MADE BY @SO_MANY_OCS GO FOLLOW THEM I LITERALLY LOVE THEM SO MUCH
