The Ninth Note ✔ | A Short Story

Meet Kyle Fisher. If only destinies weren't meant to be, and we could've lived in peace. But unfortunately, we're stuck with him. The observer of our story.

Kyle is also the greatest outlaw of Springfield High. The school that's still shaken by the newest drug scandal in town. Nobody in the school actively hates him though, but neither do they care-- because, let's face it, nobody likes a guy with a knack for old-fashioned things.

Not that great to be called a winner, is he?

Enter Lily Wright.

Lily is your regular girl-with-a-plan. But plans never work, as we know it. The wrecker in Lily's case is her own Dad. For how many times have you met a father who runs a drug scandal in a high school?

But when Lily's father is killed in an police encounter, Lily has nothing left to lose. Her mom's suicidal, the whole school mocks her, and of course, the scandal is hovering like a raincloud on her head, showering cold, bitter, withering acidic rain.

Everything's awful. Lily has no place to go. She's like a falling star-- meant to sacrifice herself for the wishes of others. Until one day, she finds a note in the unlikeliest of places, prompting her to be the moon.

A tale that enchants you into believing love recognizes no barriers.

Read on to find out.
