It's hard getting used to seeing by brother as a dad.

After dad was killed, I thought Asher was going to be an easy guardian. Letting me stay up late, eat junk food, play video games all day. And for a while, it was like that. Then we had to move out of the city because he couldn't handle the way everyone looked at us. 

I thought this tiny town was going to be a dead-end for me. Until I met Keiran Point. He's from Orchard Valley, Lemon Creek's newly incorporated downtown-ish place. (I say downtown-ish because it's not really like a big city. At all.) He's the cutest boy I have ever seen.

So now Asher is putting his foot down. "You're only fourteen, too young to be going steady." Blah, blah, blah. 

At least it is summer, and school is suspended for the whole season in Lemon Creek. While Asher is working I can have Keiran come over and I can sneak out at night, right?

And I've heard a famous band is coming to town next month. Maybe this place isn't so backwoods afterall.
