Mia made the mistake of a lifetime…

And everyone was there to see it.

Green Grass Grows Again

The Green Grass Grows Again

a contemporary YA Christian fiction short story

by Lauren Thell

“She needed his friendship to prove she still had worth.”

One month after handing herself to a boy who ground her heart to silt and sprinkled it out for the entire school to see, sixteen-year-Mia itches to come out of hiding and resume a normal life. But the days of going out with friends and not running into people who have seen more of her than she ever would have shown them are over.

Some mistakes can’t be undone.

When her fixation with Four-Eyed Jay—the awkward-cute boy next door—becomes an obsession, Mia decides to take a chance. As she prepares to cross the stretch of grass between her house and Jayden’s, however, she can’t dismiss the nagging thought that sometimes you don’t get a second chance. And she might have already missed her first.
