The Girl In The Dark

Emily is plagued by terror, a terror that she can't be rid of, no matter how hard she tries. Despite her obvious distress, everyone in that small town school either ignores her or drives that terror to consume just a little more of her.
When a new kid turns up she hopes he's the one who will help her drive out that terror, but it's a small town, and the influence of the other students is prevalent.
Will he help chase off her terror? Or will he turn a blind eye; just like everyone else?
