Brought to Light

Alyssa Sogura's sister, Michelle, was perfect until she wasn't. She was perfect until she snapped. And, when she snapped, everything came crashing down around her. Alyssa was hit with most of the shrapnel. When everything finally settled, after the star football player moved away, after the initial shock, Alyssa was left to survive in the ruin. Alone. Her only light at the end of that dark tunnel was graduation looming in the distance. Her only ticket out of the town she used to love. The town she loved until they turned their backs on her for something she didn't even do. Alyssa had a bulletproof plan to get through the year: lay low. Don't make eye contact. Don't show weakness. Be invisible. It was the only way to get out of there without causing herself any more pain. But then a new face showed up in her fifth period class and Alyssa found herself starting to get attached despite her best efforts not to. She knew it would only be a matter of time before he heard about her sister's sordid past and would turn his back on her just like everybody else.
