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.

It hurts to cry. My head feels like it is about to split open, the scar burning as tears cross its path. My dad starts rocking us back and forth, shushing me. Maureen has stepped to the side, giving us a moment. I manage to catch my breath when Ayanda's mom steps into the room.
