When I walked up the steps to Meager Senior High that September morning I had no idea that by the end of the year my life as I knew it would be over.

Every high school senior anticipates having their best year ever. I certainly did.

Senior year, here I come. Watch out for Grace Hastings!

I had everything going for me.

Only the everything I thought was real...

Was so wrong.

Everything I believed in, everything I was holding onto up until that moment, turned out to be meaningless.

Well, no. That's a bit dramatic, isn't it?

This is more accurate—everything can crack, break, crash. Flip the fuck over and burn.

And it did.
