Emerson Richards is the girl that picks up the pieces when someone is feeling down. The one that manages to make everyone else feel 50% better with her loyal spirit and kind personality. However, people deem her to be the "supporting character" of the lives of the people she loves, like her sister and her best friend; however, she seems to be completely fine with that.
Emerson has the struggles that every teenager faces at least once in their life: anxiety, unrequited love, stress, the pressure from parents, and the hope of finding their sole purpose of living.
This is Emerson's coming-of-age story. It will combine with lasting friendships, finding love in the strangest places, and picking up her "own" pieces to make her whole. Would you like to join her?

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
