𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 - she used art as an escape for her problems

✿

Esther Collins' hoodie became her own home. With a dead mother and an alcoholic father who refused to pay the bills, she did everything she could to make a life for herself, and she was only 16 years old. She wanted to get the hell out of Shermer, Illinois, so she stayed out of trouble, for the most part and kept her grades as high as she could. Pursuing an art career was her dream, and she was destined to get far in order to complete it.

She often stayed out of trouble, yes, but in this specific circumstance, she landed herself in detention for being a mere witness. No matter how hard she pled, she couldn't get out of it. She came to realize, though, that this Saturday detention may have been one of the greatest things that ever happened to her.

She met a boy named Andrew. He was popular, athletic, and not to mention, there was no way he would even look in her direction in regular school hours. As they got closer and closer, they told each other more and more about their personal lives and interests. The whole experience was eye opening, and ultimately, they changed for the better.
