Finn: On stage, I am Thor. Angry and invincible. I roar. Rage. I lose my mind. Yet for all my so-called potential, people always leave me. Now there’s Kayla. The only girl I’ve ever met who’s worth loving. The only one I’ve ever wanted to be worth something for. Kayla: I’m the weird girl in school. I’m not special. I’m uncool. Unlovable. Love is all an act, anyway. A game. But Finn says he really loves me. I want to believe the world isn’t as bad as I thought it was. That I don’t have any reason to be sad anymore. In each other they find the only place they have ever belonged.
