It's October, and I'm officially a junior. I have been for over a month. I moved here a year ago this month. It's lunch and I'm talking to Tina, one of my closest friends in this hell. My dad is getting bad again and I need help. I don't know what to do. I was in the middle of explaining when she walked in. The girl I've been secretly in love with for a year. Her and a bunch of my friends started a conversation and I couldn't help but focus on her... it's like I didn't have any problems, all bad things were forgotten as I listened to that angelic voice of hers and I couldn't help but fall harder while looking into those beautiful hazel eyes... This is a story about a high school junior named Sam and her struggles to get to graduation. It's also the story of Sam and Lizzie's romance Trigger warning: Self harm Domestic violence
