  • many
  • other
  • things
  • to
  • think
  • about.
  • Each

  • her
  • friend
  • Samantha
  • seems
  • a
  • bit
  • more
  • “holy.”

  • a
  • new
  • boy
  • in
  • class
  • everyone
  • is
  • calling

  • reveals
  • the
  • pain
  • and
  • the
  • joy
  • of
  • learning
  • to
  • look
  • beneath
  • the surface.
