"I've been waiting for this day for years. Today is the day that I'm legally 18 years of age, and I'm leaving. I've had my bags packed for weeks and nobody knows. Nobody knows. A secret digging and clawing at the back of my throat. Nobody knows. But they will soon."

Iris, finally turned 18, is leaving behind her life in the small, boring town of Agra, Kansas, for a new shiny life in California. She won't say why she's leaving, or what she left behind, only that she's leaving. Iris vows to distance herself from people and accept help from nobody, including her nice neighbor, who also happens to be incredibly handsome and have a killer smile that leaves girl wet themselves.

"I'm not keeping secrets," I purse my lips. "I'm just not focused on the past-tense."
"What for?"
"Nothing. Let's talk about something else."All Rights Reserved
