In Our Heads

Does anybody else feel like this?

Six students. Six lives. Six paths. One solution.

AJ is used to being the popular girl, everybody's favourite. When her life is turned upside down by a diagnosis, she has nowhere to run.

Einie wonders about everything she sees. It's not her fault she spaces out- she's just trying to understand what the hell's going on.

Tom is a bully. He's rough. He's antisocial, violent, and an outcast. And according to his counsellor, there's nothing he can do about it.

Tully is nobody. Don't ask me. She's just nobody.

Jack doesn't come from a conventional family, and while school is his only escape, it's also the only place he can cry. So he does.

Harper is just the boy with the blue hair, always in the library, sorting and shuffling and re-sorting until the librarians get mad. Leave him alone.

Not one of these kids think they're in deep- but the only way they can pull themselves out of the water is to accept that they've hit the drowning point. They can't survive on their own, and the other five might just be their lifeboat.
