Abandoned by her mom as a small child, she's spent most of her life in and out of foster homes.Starting a new school is never easy, but she's just hoping to get through the day completely unnoticed--and preferably without a trip to the principal's office. The last thing she expects is to bump into the one person from her past that she thought she had a real connection to. Only it's not the reunion she dreamed it would be, because he seems to have completely forgotten all about her.-If You Knew Me (and Other Silent Musings) by Mary Crawford-Sadie Anderson used to being considered different and a little strange.

Maybe she should just focus on her art and ignore everything else.Elijah Fisher has gone to the same school with the same friends since preschool.

What would she think if she really knew him?-What If? by Heather Helms-Even though Liz has moved nine times, she still manages to keep up her grades and never has a problem making friends.

That is, until Allie walks into her life.-Third & Long by Sara Marion-When you're young, they say you can be anything you want. That's true for most. W
