"Are those silver?!" His voice was loud and startling after my moment of quiet reflection, but it was also oddly calming, soothing even, maybe I had hit my head.

I'm In High School Again?!

Aice Figuera loved reading novels, especially one called AN ONLINE CHANCE. Though getting hit by a car and waking up inside it was NOT part of the plan. And unfortunately, the character she became wasn't any better. If she wanted to survive, she'd have to rewrite the story with nothing but her stock knowledge... that was slowly proving itself wrong.
