The Ghost in the Storm: Maya Hart

Everyone says that your life begins when you enter high school,
that's not true— well, for me anyways.

My life ended when I entered high school— metaphorically, of course.

I've always feared the day my friends saw me as a waste of their time,
and when it happened, I didn't know how to react. I was numb in all places
and I felt my souls leave my body.

It's been a year— a long difficult year— without my friends. Actually, I shouldn't
even call them that anymore. I might as well call them my killers because now
I'm just a ghost in the storm.

Everyone says that you'll find yourself in high school, that's not true— for me once again
— because I'm just a lost soul looking for a home.
