“Okay. How old is she?”
“Eighteen.”
“So she is in college. That’s good because I like---”
“She is in high school.”
“So I am going to pose as a teacher. That’s good I will be a figure of authority.”
“No. You will be a high school student.”
As the saying goes, ‘the air was knocked out of my lungs’. If I were still alive I would be hyperventilating right about now.
“High school student, me? John, I already went through high school. I even went to college. Going back to high school as a student, not a teacher, seems kind of like a joke. A very cruel joke.”
“Eliza! Shut up. You will go as a student. Why? You look like a teenager; you can’t pass off as a teacher.”

"How can a girl's life be so complicated?" -- Eliza Rosenthal
I know the summary doesn't give any hints as to what the story is about. Trust me, as the person you never met, when I say that the story is decent. It is not absolutely horrible nor exceptionally special. I had to make up a city because I can't name a real city and then give 100% inaccurate descriptions. This story is my version of a satire. Unfortunately, to those that hate vampires and werewolves, this story includes supernatural creatures. Super cliche, but with a twist, or at least my version of a twist.
I am not planning on becoming super popular here; I just want to become a better writer and with that being said I would like it very much if everyone that read this story leave a comment.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
