Description
It was her secret to keep. Hers only. But she couldn't help boasting about it at school. Her friends would demand proof. And then she would try to cover it up. She would be distracted all the time. Giving no time to her friends. Until her friends finally decided she had gone crazy. And that she was no longer their friend. But it hardly made a difference to her. As her secret was her devoted friend. And so, she didn't care. Until it really mattered. Evena Essenics, a near-sighted, Asian girl has a secret which changes her social life forever. It all seemed fun when she was little. But now that she's in year 8, it's not "cool" anymore. It's childish. Evena looses all her friends through it. But her secret is her true friends. Push aside THAT problem, Evena's mum isn't doing a very good job at being a mum. Ever since her dad died, Evena's mum became rude, selfish, harsh, violent and crazy. But on the outside she is perfect, her hair is the perfect shade of brown and blonde, her eyes and nose have the perfect shape and size, her skin is smooth and flawless and her standards are high and up. But on the inside, she is a demon. And Evena has to battle that demon everyday. But every night, at 12 o'clock in midnight, Evena slips out of that window, through the acres of country grass with the far away city lights stalking her, through the murky creek, and in to the forest. Where all Evena has to do, is close her eyes. And her secret is real.
