The Girl Who Cried Stars

She was named after a star, yet she could never see them.

Thebe Dillons, the girl with the dirtiest red hair on the block, and the most pity from them all.

Thebe has Agoraphobia, the fear of being around anything remotely crowded, which means even being outside.

She's been trapped inside the small family home for 13 years, ever since she was 3. Her only source of closure and comfort is her family inside, and the halls she imagines as deep jungles. Tucked away from humanity and the sunlight.

That's until the new girl next door moves in, Samantha Simmons.

It's been years since she's made a friend, since any type of gathering or guest has arrived.

While getting to know each other, Thebe explains how she's never gotten to see and remember actual stars up close.

And maybe, just maybe. Samantha is the one to help her see those stars.
