Highest ranking #1 in Osteosarcoma. #1 in chemotherapy. #2 in chemo.]
At the age of thirteen, Kenneth Adams, a formerly popular football player, was diagnosed with Metastatic Osteosarcoma, or bone cancer, which had spread. After an intense battle, he is finally hoping to end the full war against a body that turned against him. He is attempting to cope with his new-found perspective. One with his family, friends, and himself.
"We are not invincible. We would all love to think we are, but we aren't. So, we make up people that are. Someone helpful, powerful, and strong. Someone who can't be killed. Like Superman. That is, until 1943, in "The Meteor from Krypton," when a green space-rock was introduced as his weakness. One that drains his superhuman abilities.
My weakness is a lot less badass."

Smile
Once upon a time... That's how all the fairytales begin, right? There's a girl who's mistreated and misunderstood. She meets a guy--probably the most popular guy in school (and hey, why not make him British while we're at it?). He's most likely very handsome and just as rich, and magically seems to understand her. It feels like they've known each other forever when in fact they've actually just met. It's love at first sight, the guy saves the girl from whatever misery she's in, they meet only two or three problems along the way, and then it's happily ever after. But this isn't a fairytale.
