Claire and Sarah both looked up to me. Claire had just turned 18. Like me, she was just finishing her senior year in high school. Unlike me, she was extremely naïve and impressionable. Sarah was also 18 but had been so for several months. Despite being very intelligent and talented, Sarah lacked self-confidence. Both girls relished their time spent with me b...

How could a young 18 year old country girl like me feel at home in this ritzy city building? Just as I thought this, two girls about my age jogged down the stairs, jostling me.
