this was the beginning and the end
the best and worst year
when they told her this year was going to be hard, she never thought it would be this hard
*****
Ophelia is seventeen, and about to enter her last year of high school. This year was meant to be everything that the past 12 years of schooling has prepared her for, this was it. She knew that this year was meant to be tough -- the pressure is on. But some things, she was not prepared for.
She never meant for her eating disorder to haunt her
She never meant for anxiety and stress to plague her mind
But mostly, she never meant to fall for a girl
