Dear Mom, Why wasn’t I enough? Why did you and Dad forget you had me to take care of and love? I miss you. Do you even know where I ended up? Let me tell you. At the gates of Hell. And I wish I was being dramatic, but Darkwood Academy is just that. A literal Hell for me. I’m constantly bullied and tormented by the students here. And they’re relentless in their pursuit to get rid of me. All because they take directions from the Kings of Darkwood. Yeah, I laughed too. Who calls themselves that? But Daxon, Mason, and Colton are three guys who have made it their mission to make my life hell. They run this school, and I seem to be in their way. Why not get everyone to gang up on me? I just wish you were here. I have no one to turn to, no one to talk to. You selfishly left me. Left me live to this life alone. And that’s what I am, Mom. Alone. I hope you’re watching over me from above. I know I’m looking up to you. Because now more than ever, I need a guardian angel.
