"Living in a big city, I guess I've always looked forward to seeing the light from the moon, between the floodlights and the lamps, even if its light isn't its own. A mere reflection of something else, it has a hold on me. 
Some people are like that, like the moon. They come and shine their light on you and sometimes they leave.
But the moon? It won't stop coming out and shining in the dark each day, at least I hope it doesn't.
Because the moon? It's magic."

You travel, you see some mountains, probably even an ocean, and the same sky from a different continent and you suddenly know what to do in life? SURE. It works for Instagram posts and Facebook quotes but I completely, blatantly refuse to believe in these epiphanies.
It all started with the stupid story I wrote for my English class and I'm not going to bore you with it. I mean, anyone can write a story that has a word limit of precisely 150-200 words.
I'm just starting like this because it's a good place in my life to start my story.

Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option. ***** Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
