Here is an excerpt from an up and coming young author, Suzanna Lynn:


Chapter One


I walked towards the high school focusing intently on the ground in front of me. The weak autumn sun shone down on me bringing out the red in my light brown hair and making my skin look almost transparent. I played with the strap to of my messenger bag that hung across my chest. Whenever I did this my hand always found my mother’s wedding ring that I kept on a thin chain that came to my breast. I clasped the ring in my hand, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. I had been going to the same school for over three years yet every time I went in the school I felt like a new kid on her first day.


“Adrienne.”


The sound of my name being called from behind me pulled me out of the uneasy, trance-like walk to the doors. I looked up and turned around to see my best friend, Derek making his way through the crowd of students with a warm smile on his face.
