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 shoulders sag with the weight of the avalanche that keeps tumbling down on me as I stare at the ghost in front of me. The life in me has been drained out and at that moment, I realize how exhausted I am. I am tired in ways I can not even begin to explain.

It has been one thing after the next for 2 months, and to my displeasure, it does not look like it is about to stop any time soon. Not when deadbeat moms emerge from prison, best friends fall in love and dead men wake from the dead.

The familiarity in their features gives me a chill. My eyes are heavy as they swing over to look at Anthony, who himself looks like he has just seen a ghost. I can't place any of my emotions right now, I can only imagine what he must be feeling.
