READY.
Natalie Johnson can run. She knows how to take that last victorious step and over come all types of obstacles in her way. She knows when to speed up and when to slow down just in time.
SET.
What she doesn't know is how to deal with her mom. How to tell her the truth about what dad has been doing. What she doesn't know is how to tell dad to stop; to tell him when enough is enough.
What she doesn't know is why her friends are pretending she didn't exist; why Mrs. Cullen can't seem to register the fact that, no, she just doesn't have a 'talent' for geometry.
She doesn't know why she can't stand Michael Krauss and why he seems to make her life more miserable by the minute. She doesn't know why Valerie Brace suddenly welcomed her to her posse after weeks of the cold-shoulder or why Heath Hudson took such a flattering interest in her after two years.
GO.
She doesn't know why things happen. Sometimes, Natalie Johnson is just Natalie Johnson. And sometimes, all she can do is run and keep on running.
