Neither was running away from a future she had been building for years, but that didn’t stop either from becoming her reality.

With a substitute position and a circle of friends she never anticipated, Chloe’s newfound support system has the potential to help her navigate this uncharted territory. Then again, a mysterious English teacher and her friendship might just be Chloe’s undoing. Views: 576
