Sixth grader Annabelle S. finds herself with a crush. A crush who means a whole lot to her. More than he means to anyone else who likes him. She finds out though, that relationships are hard to maintain. And down the line sees clearly that pretty hurts. The idea for this story came from Beyoncé's song Pretty Hurts. Some strong language is used. Thank you so much to the people who have inspired me to write this story. Based off of real life happenings.
