"My past defines me. My only desire is for the pain to disappear. Countless times I've wanted to snatch my own life and throw it into the deep, vast ocean. Only this year, it's a new school year. The time has arrived...I must attend a new school. No one cares, nor do they notice me; but I was incorrect....."
This is a short story where our mc is simply transferring to a new school, expecting the same response from the peers. Only to be greatly surprised by what occurs next.
Extras:
- i'll mainly be using idv characters, just for names i guess
- since this story is meant to be read by any gender, lgbtq+, i will just be writing the story in 1st person perspective. though i will be describing the mc as female, but feel free to imagine the story any way you'd like to.
- i'm assuming this is a 'x reader' book lol
- i'll most likely add more characters as i continue to update the book

If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
