Vaughn Montgomery High school is almost over, and I’m more than ready. Not because I don’t love Big Bend and everything here. Actually, I’m going to miss it quite a bit, but I’ll have my best friend by my side. With Austin, I’ll always be okay.

Austin Pierce I’m keeping some pretty big secrets from my best friend. Secrets I’m not sure how much longer I can hold onto. Secrets that’ll likely destroy our friendship. Because he thinks we’re going to college together—but I just can’t do it. I can’t spend any more time with this lie. Big Bend may have been my beginning, but it never felt quite right. Something was always off—truly, I think it was my false start. Now it’s time to live my life with nothing but the truth.
