The Prettiest Page 18

by Brigit Young


  I didn’t know it in middle school, but I know now that I’m not alone. In the end of this story, I wanted to give my characters a taste of that knowledge. They conclude their journey as a community of friends who value one another and stand proudly together against the pressures of the world.

  They are not alone. I am not alone. You are not alone. We’ll find our way through it together.
