Friends. Fun. Romance. Drama. Danger. HIGH SCHOOL.

Three short stories set among a group of students all in the same psychology class:

It's Not Always Easy – Diane and Abby were best friends. Then Jack entered their lives. Will competition over a cute guy ruin their friendship?

What The Eye Can't See – Who would have guessed that underneath Kelly's silent, sweet personality there was a dangerous and violent girl waiting for her chance to come out?

A State of Mind – Chain letter e-mails don't mean anything. They're only superstition. Right?

- - -

These stories are also available in the High School Writing Project 2.0 Anthology Short Story Collection.
