Can Honestly Ruin a Life?

Ley is starting twelfth grade today, and she hasn't had anything interesting happen yet, this year was supposed to different, special, it was her last year, after all. But then she gets to sixth hour, the last class, and meets Ms. Teel, and English has never been more interesting

They already have an assignment on the first day, something the teacher says they'll be working the entire year on. Pick a topic about something that defines people, and study it. They're to write their notes in a composition journal, with diary-like entries and at the end of the year, look back at their year and read the entries, then write an essay.

Ley has trouble thinking of something, but eventually she comes but with the perfect thing: Lies.
