My Fiction

No Turning Back

I like to describe this story as being about two "bad girls" smoking cigarettes. This young adult story follows a narrator named Haley as she rides around town with her best friend Kate. While they waste time, waiting for their night out to get started, Haley starts to suspect that maybe Kate isn't as carefree and confident as she always thought.
