Our Invisible String
Have you ever wonder why when you're in love, you feel like you're drowning even though you're not? Have you ever wished that you just never laid eyes on that certain someone who's a part of your life now? And have you ever wished that person would just see you as well? This story is about a girl who's still in love with the same person who doesn't feel the same way towards her, she wanted to move forward but couldn't do so. Was their such thing as an invisible string between two people?
High school in the early 90s: it was before cell phones and social media, but the problems were the same. How do you get the guy you're interested in to notice you? What happens if you fall in love with your best friend? Why does physics class keep factoring into your love life?
This novella is loosely based on my own high school experiences... but sort of an alternate version of them. You can only make one set of choices in life, so it's fun to explore what could have been - but wasn't - in fiction. Also, set in 1991-92, this is kind of a period piece now! In some ways it's a love letter to the teen books I read back in the 80s and 90s, in particular those by Ellen Conford and Paula Danzinger. I hope you enjoy it.
