Chapter 2 Who, What, Why

Chapter 1: Who, what, why

Lily's story

Lily was cheer captain, prom queen, and the most popular girl in school. Everyone loved her, but no one really knows her. She lives every day with a secret that no one knows.

See Lily is a single teen mom. Her baby's father was killed over in Iraq. He was only eighteen years old. He never got to meet his baby daughter. Every day is a struggle for her.

She lives in a one-bedroom apartment that she can barely afford because her family disowned her the second, she told them she was pregnant. Now with her being a part of the nerd project her secrets about to be told.

Will she still be popular once everyone knows the truth about her? Is this project even worth it? She knows she needs help, and maybe this is the way she can get it. She cry's everyday wishing she had someone she could talk to so when she heard Mrs. Ross was doing this project, she volunteered for it.

Now she was starting to have second thoughts. She knew she couldn't do it on her own anymore, but she didn't want to lose her daughter. She just wanted one person to tell her it would be okay. One person to talk to about the things that have happened in her life. Maybe she would be pared up with someone that she could trust and talk to.

Drea's Story

Drea was your run of the mill bad girl. No one ever cared about her, so she didn't care about anyone else. She was used to fighting to get what she wanted. On the streets where she lived you had to fight or be killed.

All she heard growing up was gun shots. There were constant drive byes. She lost her baby sister to a bullet that was meant for her drug dealing daddy. I guess you could call her a statistic.

She grew up dirt poor in an abusive house. Ran away when she was thirteen and met up with a man that was no good for her. He beat her just like her daddy did. She got away from him only to find another loser, and now she has a year-old son out of the deal.

The only time she can relax, and not live-in fear is school so when she heard about the nerd project from Mrs. Ross, she thought hell what's she got to loose. She guarantees no spoiled rich kid would be able to handle the life she leads.

This may be fun to watch them fall. Maybe they could learn a thing or two about the kind of life she has had to live. She would have it so easy living the life of a spoiled rich kid for a month. Yea this assignment would be a piece of cake for a girl like Drea.
