About this ebook
A short story of teenage love that will break your heart, with a twist at the end that will put it back together. It's a story about Algebra class, waiting for the bus and walking home from school with your best friend. Loosely inspired by the songs "Unloveable" and "Back To The Old House" by The Smiths.
