A wise fool once said 'the heart wants what it wants'. Unfortunately, no one told me that sometimes, what the heart wants could be the only missing piece of a recipe for disaster. Maybe I wouldn't have listened; then we would have made it out unscathed. But there was no way to avoid it. I was in love with my principal. Heart, mind, body and soul. How do I say no to that?

Azania Wyatt is an 18 year old high school senior, who has had everything at the drop of a hat. She is daddy's little girl and has some underlying issues from her childhood that she keeps dead and buried.

My mood is dark and broody as I swing the entrance door open, for once wishing I could be anywhere but here. Mrs. Khumalo stands from her chair when she sees me, flashing me a bright smile as she did every morning.

"Your coffee." A steaming cup of black, no sugar is set before me, making me sit up with intrigue.
