Smile, the World Loves You

Mike's always been there for Joanna. When she needed someone, she could always, always, always go to Mike.

But their friendship hasn't been smooth sailing; they've drifted apart and not kept in touch over summers.

Junior year has presented its fair share of challenges to both of them, and in all the trials and tribulations they face, Mike finds something else:

He might actually need her for once.

This story is loosely based off real events - however, in most places, it swings into the realm of fiction and the figments of my imagination. Since this is based off real events in my life, I will be a main character here. I'm not going to write this to be narcissistic, or to be a Mary Sue, but just because it wouldn't work if I substituted someone else into my position.
