You tightened your grip on the worn handle of your duffel bag as the car rolled down the long Arkansas driveway. The humid summer air smelled like pine and earth — so different from the city you’d called home for most of your life. Your parents had split years ago, and for summers and holidays, you always came down here to visit your dad’s side of the family. But this time wasn’t just a visit. After one too many fights with your mom, she finally gave in, letting you stay with your dad for good. New house. New stepmom. New siblings. And, starting freshman year, a whole new school. The thought made your stomach twist and your heart pound, but deep down, you knew it was a fresh start you needed. You took a deep breath as the car pulled up to the house. This was it. A new chapter.
