Friended

1st Place Winner - 2019 NERCA Awards

WISRWA - 2019 Write Touch Awards FinalistCompared to life on tour with her wannabe rock star mother, finishing high school in the dull town of Rye is a snooze. At least Roxy has her best friend, Zo , her doting dad, and her music. When her standoffish Civics class partner, Jagger, breaks rank and randomly friends her on Instagram, Roxy's sure that it must be a joke.Jag Monroe is Roxy's total opposite: stinking rich, conceited, and hot in that obvious kind of way. Resolved to avoid trouble, Roxy declines his request. But when Jag ignores Roxy as usual in civics class that week, then friends her again on Friday, Zo does the unthinkable: snatches Roxy's phone, accepts his request, and follows him back.As the posts (and sparks) fly, Roxy begins to suspect that Jag may not be as shallow as everyone thinks, and that he may be into more than just her music.
