This isn't me; this wasn't supposed to happen to ME. Yea I was the rebel child but only because my parents PUSHED me that way. Andres was ironically the only person who could keep me OUT of trouble and calm me down... now he's an accessory in all of this mess. On the outside I try to be this big strong person that owns up to her mistakes and has moved on; whenever I'm alone though, I can't get the tears to stop. "How could you be so stupid?" is a question I asked myself a lot at first until I realized, I'm only human and we all make mistakes. The whole time I'm sitting here feeling pity for myself though I never stopped to think about how this affected Dres too...It's his senior year also. Basketball is his way out of this Hell in Paradise; how is he supposed to make it out when he has to trade in his ball for a bottle? It's his job to be the rock, but even the hardest of stones crack under certain pressures. He's still a teen too after all; he likes to chill with his boys till 2 or 3 in the morning just doing stupid shit because it sounds cool at the time. Despite the fact that we were close before this, everything is still bound to change, and we both are afraid of change...

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."
