A Daydream Away

Alyx Smith is 15 but she has quite a background. Her birth parents physically and mentally abused her until they finally left her for herself when she was 7 on an old worn down farm in the middle of nowhere. A few years passed and when she was 12 she was then put into foster care. Since she was born she has been struggling with Dyslexia and anxiety. And since being put into care she suffers with depression and an eating disorder. Her foster parents have fully adopted her now and are living in a house with 15 other people, 13 of which are siblings. She has 8 sisters and 5 brothers along with her parents Julie and Patrick. Through her parents foster care she has grown close to her brother Garrett who they have also fully adopted. They are the only two that are permanently there for good. Not only is Garrett her best friend but he is her drug dealer. Her and her best friend Blakke have been friends since Alyx got there and have stayed that way ever since. For the past couple years the kids have been homeschooled but this year is when it changes. All the kids are starting public school which means knowing nobody. Thankfully Alyx grows close to a boy named Kellin and his group of friends. They’re the class clowns; Charlotte Reynolds, Anthony Boyd, Kayla Roberts, and Brookklynn Foster. Things go great until just a few weeks in new step brothers; Quinton and Oliver Hall move in. The boys and the group quickly become friends. Quinton and Alyx hit things off and become the closest in the group. Just before an announcement of a class trip to Australia Quinton finally works up the nerve to ask her out and ends up friend zoning her. She says yes but is not expecting what is coming her way.
