A personal collection of stories from the mouth of a high school student.
Charlie Falkner is a junior student from West High School who is anything but "popular." She spends her time reading, daydreaming, writing, drawing and taking photos. When her head isn't in the books, it's looking at her phone, avoiding all people. And she's doing a great job at avoiding everyone.
Little do her classmates know, she's an internet celebrity. Going under an anonymous screen name, she is well-known to all as a fanfiction storyteller. A digital painter. A photographer and film editor. A musician, an entrepreneur, a designer. A poet, an advice-giver, a DIY queen. A verified meme account, with original comics to make you laugh your face off. Thousands of followers. You name it. She's got it.
Contrary to her life online, she's always being pushed around, used, and ignored in her real life at school. She is a "nobody" by most people's standards. And starts writing it all down.
This is a fictional journal about the life of Charlie Falkner, a high school student.
