Zoey and Noah have been friends since 7th grade they are now in 12th grade and trying to make it through highschool and get out. This is my first story I've every written and I don't know how to write 100% sorry if its cringey and for any spelling or grammar mistakes. I don't have a set uploading schedule but ill try to write. Also sorry for the bad description. TW: slight mentions of self harm might be some cursing mentions of drug and alcohol abuse mentions of child abuse mental illness angst Cover belongs to me

This is the story of my characters falling in love slowly, but surely. Location: somewhere in the Texas suburbs. First day of high school, Catherine absent-mindedly walks into a group of (what looks like) popular girls. The one that seems to be the leader lashes out at her, asserting her dominance. Catherine walks away quickly, embarrassed. The leader looks back at Catherine, feeling a little sorry. First period rolls by, and wouldn't you know it, they're sitting next to each other. Can you guess how this story goes? I have loved reading romance slice-of-lifes, so I wanted to try my hand for a story set in an environment I know well.
