Quickly Falling: Prologue

Nicholas wrote in his journal and tried to forget about his mistakes. Maybe if he was lucky the right girl would just show up on his doorstep, although the possibility of that happening in Fayer Maine, was slim to none. The intercom buzzed in his Government class and asked for Nicholas Enger to the Guidance office. His teacher waved his hand as a dismissal while writing the homework assignment.

She didn't want to think. It'd been a year and she still wasn't over his death. Well, maybe her iPod could blast away her thoughts. She turned the music up and leaned back in her seat.
