This wasnt the way it was supposed to go. Youre just a typical fifteenyearold sophomore, an average guy named Kyle Chase. This cant be happening to you. But then, how do you explain all the blood? How do you explain how you got here in the first place? There had to have been signs, had to have been some clues it was coming. Did you miss them, or ignore them? Maybe if you can figure out where it all went wrong, you can still make it right. Or is it already too late? Think fast, Kyle. Times running out. How did this happen? You is the riveting story of fifteenyearold Kyle and the small choices he does and doesnt make that lead to his own destruction.
