At least they're together now
"Your mom and I have to go. We have to go now. Can you be alone?"
"Yes. Why do you have to go?"
Rick's eyes are red from crying.
"She has the right to know." My mom says, but she still won't look at me.
Have the right to know what?

Today is the first day of Shantinys last year of high school.
She will take you with her for this last year. You will be with her at school during class and during lunch breaks.
You will be with her at family dinners and parties.
You will read about flashbacks and dreams.
Follow her for one year, and you'll see how much she and the people around her have grown.
Her parents, siblings, friends, and family. Follow her for one year, and you'll see how some people take a longer time to grow, maybe even take a few steps backward.
Recognize yourself in the characters and know that you are not alone.
