Close Eyes

Morgan Forest is beautiful, blonde platinum hair with blue eyes. She sits quietly in the right-hand corner of the classroom up front next to Theo Padgen. She aced her studies perfectly with maybe a few B's or two, and excelled in art, scoring lots of friends and interested stares from boys. She was the vice president of the Portrait Arts club in Junior year, and her talent earned piqued fascination from her favorite club member; Theo Padgen. Sophomore year at Ashland High School begins and Theo is building up the courage to ask her out. A new transfer from California stubbornly enters the picture and leaving Theo left out and confused, he starts spending lots of time with Morgan. Theo has never been separated so intensely from her before and is curious about this other guy's charms. She comes to school every day and is jittery and less talkative, useless in her studies and non-competent in her art. She never so much as looks at him anymore and never answers his calls. Is this new guy who's so into her dragging her down? Whoever this new student is and whatever he's trying to accomplish through her, must be stopped.
