Change
The Promise Ring
Why are they doing this to me?  Why?  It's my senior year, I don't want to be alone.  I don't want
change.  
Seventeen-year-old Nicolene Harris thought nothing in this world could ever happen to a girl
that had everything.  She had her grandfather and her family.  
Why can't things stay the way they are?  
Nicolene attended the private school up town since kindergarten.  The fact of being there her whole life
gave her comfort and protection with the perspective and sense of purpose that things would always
remain the way they are.  But for this girl who had everything, her world would change quickly.  Adapting
to a public school, falling in love the first time, getting in the wrong crowd, and losing her best friend all at
the same time is seemingly unbearable.  Can she pull through these tough times?  Will Nicolene be able to
make the "Change" or, will she be left trying to pick up the pieces of her broken heart?
"I hate you, Patrick Wells.  I hate you."  Eighteen-year-old Abigail Martin thought Patrick would always
love her.  Tears slowly fell down her cheeks.  
How could you do this to me after all these years?  I
thought you loved me.  
The gold promise ring was supposed to be their bond of life long love and
commitment.  Even more, Christmas was supposed to be filled with love, peace, and cheer.  Instead,
Christmas was becoming more like a disease to her.  Christmas the year before already made a dent in
Abigail's life after her parents divorced.  Now a Christmas later, Patrick's lies and his betrayals finally
catch up with him.  Can a miracle bring them back together?  Or, will the law student across the street
have Abigail thinking more of him than a love of the past five years?
