CHARITY
char•i•ty/ˈCHaritē/
Noun: The voluntary giving of help to those in need.
***
The summer before senior year. The time to make or break the final chapter of my high school life. I wasn't expecting to ask her for help, but I did. And I definitely didn't expect for Charity Greene, the mysterious, unusually loud senior who seems to have appeared from nowhere to help me in return. But she did.
Confused?
Well so am I.
All I know is that it all started the day I was forced to wear shoes on my hands.
And my whole life’s been flipped ever since.
