My name is Tierra Owens, and I like to kiss. A
lot. It numbs the hollow ache in my chest and—for a few minutes—makes me forget
how truly alone I am. My mother is an alcoholic. She hates me and insists I’m the
reason she’s not married to my father, whom I have never met. My best friend, Kaylee,
is the only person who knows the real me. Everyone else sees what I want them to: a
happy, confident, popular girl who has the world at her feet.
I am a fraud.
Relationships are forbidden. I avoid them at all costs. Sex? Emotions? Those things
make a person vulnerable, and vulnerability always leads to heartbreak. When my
childhood crush, Mattie shows up at school my world tumbles off its axis. The shell I
surround myself with feels more like a pathetic crutch than a protective barrier, and I find
myself wanting things. Daydreaming about what it would be like to have a boyfriend, a
relationship—love.
The sad fact is: I’ll never have any of those things. I am unworthy—trash. Which is
why my mom abandoned me.
