    Summary

    Lottie Matthews is soft and quiet, and yet lives just as she was born, screaming. A collage of perfectly pruned expectations, sliced off at the root, bound together with the barbed wire of the sickness in her skull. Malleable. Unpredictable. Breakable. A gentle breeze, never quite knowing if she’ll pass like a whisper or tear down the trees.

    Natalie Scatorccio is hard and loud, and yet lives just as she was made, silenced. A shattered mirror of an angry man, devoid of expectations, ripped out at the root, torn apart by the sickness in her home. Avoidant. Destructive. Forgotten. A smoulder, never quite knowing if she exists to be stoked, or snuffed right out.

    Spring Semester of Junior Year, Wiskayok High School: Breeze, meet Smoulder.

    An inexplicable, inevitable connection. A hopeless, hurt group of misfits. A year and a half of high school. Hurting, healing, hating, loving, laughing, teasing, hoping, wanting, having, needing.
