SMILE

Life isn't always great. Some people get that, most do not. For Phoenix Andrews, all she has known is what most like to call "The Poor Life". Her father was murdered when she was only 10, her brother died in war when she was 14, and her mother has severe brain cancer. Life isn't always easy, and that's how Phoenix grew up. Now, in her senior year of high school, Phoenix runs into a boy. Now, not just any boy, the one and only Everest Collins. He is known to be harsh and cruel, but Phoenix is the only on to have the guts to befriend him. But behind every smile holds a secret.
