"I met Amara Rowe the week she started school here. She watched as an old friend stuffed her face with marshmallows. She left after looking lost, so I followed her. She was by a trash can looking... frustrated. She threw away a paper and I picked it out of the trash can after she left.... it was a list.

Now it wasn't an ordinary list, no, it was a bucket list, with 10 things written on it. And at the top of the list was, make a friend.

And the rest of the list looked... simple. She was simple. At the bottom of the list it said, die happy. And at the time I didn't understand, I didn't think much of it. I thought that maybe she was still adding to it and it wasn't in any specific order.

But I wanted to help her do everything on that list. I couldn't help her if I wasn't her friend so that is what I did first."

Amara has a health issue that no other students know about. It's her secret and she will only talk about it if she believes you can handle it.

Will her new friend, Clay, be able to handle her secret? Or will Amara have to handle his secret?

Three secrets. Two teens. One truth.
