The fact that the flower sale was a fund-raiser only barely made it okay.
Students were selling "love" by the bunch. "Valentine's Day," she sighed, partly from relief, partly from dread.Īs she made her way to her locker, she couldn't escape the eye-watering aroma wafting from the cafeteria-tables-turned-makeshift-flower-markets, stationed like military checkpoints in every single hallway, alcove, and orifice.
S carlet Kensington knew what she was in for when she walked through the doors of Hawthorne High and was quickly overpowered by a sickly sweet floral aroma-the kind you smell only in a hospital room or funeral home. You may live only once, but you don't necessarily want it to feel like forever. In fact, sometimes facing the consequences of your choices can be even worse than death. But the sense of urgency that comes from wanting to experience life and love to the fullest can force decisions that are not always in your best interests or anyone else's, for that matter. Some approach love the same way, in a desperate attempt to outrun the tiny changes or huge ones that are always looming on each of our horizons. Some people live their lives as if each day will be their last.
