Your decisions shape the messy, raw journey of growing up in this poignant coming-of-age story. Nadine Franklin is seventeen, adrift in the chaos of grief, sibling rivalry, and crumbling friendship. As her world fractures, every choice she makes—impulsive, painful, or brave—ripples through her life in ways she can't predict. This is adolescence without filters.

I’m seventeen, and I’ve never felt more alone. School is a minefield, my mom doesn’t get me, and my brother Darian—perfect, golden Darian—just stole my best friend. Krista was the only one who really saw me, and now she’s sleeping with him like it’s nothing.

I tried to move on. I hung out with Erwin, this sweet, awkward guy who’s had a crush on me forever. I even flirted with Nick Mossman, an older guy who barely notices me. But tonight, everything went off the rails.

I stole my mom’s car. I drove around like a maniac. I sent Nick a text so explicit I can’t believe I typed it. And now I’m sitting in the school parking lot, shaking, realizing I might not be okay.

Mr. Bruner found me. He didn’t lecture. He just said, ‘You’re my favorite student, you know that?’

I don’t know what happens next. But I can’t keep pretending I’m fine.
