Adriel - A Young Adult Romance


My college classmates and dorm roommates will probably remember this story, and recognize a little bit of themselves. I wrote this when I was 17 years old (has it really been that long ago?) so it's very dated. The original is in longhand in a little notebook about the size of a thin paperback.

At first I thought I'd revise it to suit the present, but on second thought I'd rather keep it as it is, since it's full of references to what things were like at the time it was written.


This is for the original Shy -- 
Sixyl V. Balquin. 
I never thought it would be In Memoriam. :(
