The Beauty

(Independently published, Oct. 5, 2019)
Boarding schools aren't for the faint of heart.Neither are fairy tales.Orphaned at a young age, stuck in the foster care system, thrown into a new, magical school where I'm the only ordinary human? My life has been the epitome of "difficult." It's been the very definition of strange. I didn't expect to start the year at an enchanted academy full of magical beings or fairytale creatures, but that's exactly where I find myself in the middle of September.My new school has all the usual players.There's Snow White: Queen of Everything. She's the most popular girl in school, but she's got a dark side.There's the Beast: the jock who can't lose, but who also can't seem to catch a break when it comes to love.Then there's me.I'm no one special.In fact, I'm not from a fairy tale and I don't have any special powers or skills. I'm just a kid who won a scholarship to the weirdest school in town. I'm just trying to keep my head down, mind my own business, and stay out of the drama.But then Belle disappears, and all hell breaks loose.
