The day I fall for flirtatious Brian is the day my life starts to unravel. My friends think I am doing fine, but my smile masks a dark secret, hidden beside other burdens that are tearing me apart inside. No one knows how lonely I am. How the pain is swiftly making me numb to everything.
How it's becoming harder to hold onto my faith in God.
I've been pretending for so long that the lie protects me from the truth. It's easy to pretend you're happy when you lose someone or when the bullies torment you, or when you're dating the most popular boy in school. But when the queen bully's usual intimidation surges into something more sinister, and someone starts using my secrets to threaten me, my very life is at stake in more ways than one.
