"Why don't you tell us your story" she said nicely. Everyone seemed to be nicer around me now, but I'm sure it's just because they're afraid I might get bad again. 

"It's a very long one" I sighed and hoped that my lame excuse would help me avoid talking about my past. 

I know that a lot of people have had it worse, but that doesn't change the fact that I've had what I've had.

"That's okay, we have a lot of time" her sweet voice was beginning to irritate me. I gave up as I knew that they would make me talk one way or another. I tried to remember every single detail about those days. Back to when it all happened.

"It all started one day when.." and just like that I began to tell the story about the things that were.

39 parts Complete

The only thing Mia Hope has in common with Jake Carpenter, Artwood High's most popular quarterback, is a love for the coffee served at The Coffee Pod. He wants her to tutor him - and if she can do it without a single cup of coffee, he'll pay her triple. Easy. Nothing could go wrong, right? ***** When Jake learns he's failing English, he knows he needs to pull his grades up or he'll risk being kicked off the football team. He strikes a deal with the elusive Mia - the quiet girl with secrets. If she can't go without a single cup of coffee, she has to tutor him for free. If she can, he'll pay her triple, and with Christmas around the corner, there's nothing Mia needs more than money.
