'Except it meant Max's life crashed with mine and it was as If the sun faded and the night never left. It was a dark tunnel with no light at the end of it because everywhere Max went, darkness followed.'
Clara Anderson and Max Elliot were acquaintances, or maybe as little to be considered as strangers, before the odd and long bus ride home in middle school. But now years have passed and Max isn't the crying boy on the bus anymore that was as clumsy as she was. Now he's the boy who she considers a best friend. A best friend who's hiding what really happened on that bus ride home. A best friend who has a whole history Clara doesn't know anything about. A boy she learns to view in a different light as they learn to fight their battles together.
