After a nightmare before school begins taking over her life, El Clark has decided to write off making friends and most definitely finding a boyfriend at her new school. But a very persistent boy, Decker Sung-Galloway, makes it impossible for her to keep to herself. Only, she's afraid that if she trusts him and his popular friends they'll discover her darkest secret: she's slowly going insane. Or so she thinks. Who do you trust when your nightmares feel too real: the voices in your head or the people who are meant to be your family?

Fragments of Him
She thought she'd let it all go---until the memories came back. Years after middle school, the past still lingers in unexpected ways. Through dreams and quiet moments, she starts to remember pieces of a time she thought she'd outgrown. A boy. A friend group. A version of herself she hasn't seen in years that she almost forgot about. What begins as nostalgia slowly unravels into something deeper---a quiet ache she never named, emotions she buried before she understood them. As she sorts through the fragments, she begins to realize: healing doesn't always come from forgetting. Sometimes, it comes from remembering. A reflective and emotional coming-of-age story told through memory, loss, and the subtle power of looking back. Based on a true storyComplete
