A girl wanders through her school, being known as an outcast and a loner. But that girl just laughs it off as if it weren't such a big deal, but what if that girl changed everyone's lives, for eternity?
That girl, her name, Avery Grace. Seems like the kind of name you'd expect to have a lot of people gawking over it and being jealous over, but for Avery herself? She finds it like a punishment, she knows that name is known for being an outcast before, in 2002 a woman named Avery Grace was auditioning for America's Got Talent, she was 3, only 3, and she lost. Ever since then, she was an outcast.
And guess what, that girl, who auditioned on America's Got Talent, is the girl who is 18 years old, a senior in her school, where it ranges grades 9 - 16.
But when that girl, who is known for being called, 'Blank,' well not neccesarily called, but no one ever calls her by her name, so she goes by, 'Blank,' as if she doesn't have a name.
Why is that girl an outcast? Why is she a loner? What is her story? What is her life? Here, you are her, you are nobody else, imagine you are Avery herself; because now, you are living her life for her.

Now I know I seem like a bitch, and your probably thinking I'm your stereotypical mean girl, but I wasn't always like this, back when high school first started. I had a best friend who I thought I would be friends with forever. I was shy and timid, and I was foolish enough to believe what people told me. Back then everyone knew me as Arora. After the incident I decided to stop going by my first name, I had also learned that being mean, and not taking anything form anyone was the only way to get people to treat you with respect.

"We'll be broken together." He try's to smile, but he can't manage it and I nod, knowing how much pain he feels.
"We'll be broken together." I whisper, after that we sit there, in an empty silence, neither of us wanting to be the first one to speak again, because it feels off, like the sound of our own voices might somehow break our hearts more.
