I'm Ingrid. Mama always said then what an overactive imagination I had. "Curiosity killed the cat," she'd say in her condescending voice that always reminded me of a swirly slide, but made me want to reach up and grab that stupid throat of hers and just kill the words at their root. I'm glad I didn't. I always was a little crooked in the head too. I didn't have too many friends, and Mama was fine with that. I did have just one, but she wasn't too real. So, when I did talk to Elvira Bea Kirsten, I would get a scolding, and there would come the hurtful words- "Can't you just be normal?" I could see that she was angry with my overactive imagination, and I did feel bad for her. All she wanted was a normal child, but then she got me. Now I've grown out of talking to Elvira. It makes my mother happy- I've grown out of that too. Calling her "Mama." I am 14 now, and I am starting to get really sick of life. Maybe if I hadn't had a mother like her- I used to feel bad for her, but now I realize that she is selfish. Sure, I was always different. But you have to be prepared for that when you're going to go around sleeping with 17 different guys in two and a half weeks- you might just end up with a baby. And that baby might not be perfect. "Curiosity killed the cat," she'd say. Maybe it did, but it also set her free.

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide
