It had been three years since the death of Charley O'Brien, and Iris Peterson still struggled to cope with the loss. Charley was the first and only boy that Iris had ever loved, and the choice he had made to take his life left Iris bitter and jaded. For the past three years Iris had been drowning in her own mind; drowning in a void that grew deeper and darker with each question about Charley that went unanswered-as well as drowning in the consequences of her rebellious and irresponsible actions.
With little to no one to talk to, Iris began her senior year hoping to stay above the surface of her worsening depression. However, a stranger with a love for music and uncanny resemblance to her former lover arrives at school, and sends her spiraling back into the void of her mind. Irrational and angry, Iris finds herself getting in trouble one instant after another-until, beside herself, Iris is caught at school after hours during a violent fit of vandalism.
When the dust settled that night, Iris was shocked to discover the cruel and unusual punishment dealt to her by the new principal was to participate in the upcoming Talent Show as a singing act along side the new boy who'd already caused her such trouble. Iris now faced the decision to sing for the first time since the loss of Charley, or to risk failing out of school and jeopardizing her entire future.

THISIS THE OLD, ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE STORY! I left it up because the new version has significant differences, and I know I always hate it when I liked the old version of a story better and it gets taken down, but I still highly recommend reading the new one. Without further ado...

"Confidence? I've struggled with confidence my entire life. In fact, to this day, I still struggle, so I fake it. Faking confidence is a lot easier than most believe. Stand up straight, hold your head high, roll your shoulders back, look others in the eye, and stop apologising. Soon, your confidence isn't fake anymore."
