Plot
The narrative of this particular work revolves around two fifteen-year-old girls, Zoe and Shelby. Zoe is diagnosed with scoliosis, necessitating the use of a back brace for a number of years, which leads to various challenges in her life. Zoe develops an attraction towards Chance, an older photographer, and babysits for him and his wife Vera. Meanwhile, Shelby faces difficulties in her home life, as her father is an alcoholic who is abusive towards her and her mother.
As the story progresses, Zoe and Shelby encounter each other at school, and despite the emotional and physical hardships they both experience, their friendship deepens and evolves, leading to significant changes in both their lives. However, their relationship is challenged when Shelby's mother witnesses the two girls kissing, which leads to Zoe being forbidden from seeing Shelby any further. Meanwhile, Vera becomes aware of the affair between Zoe and Chance and subsequently stops hiring her as a babysitter.
After three years, Shelby gets married, with Zoe in attendance as a guest. Later on, Chance visits Zoe at her workplace and invites her over to his place while Vera and their children are away on a trip. However, during her visit, Zoe realizes that she cannot continue her relationship with Chance. In the concluding scene, Shelby briefly visits Zoe before Zoe departs for college, conveying that individuals must do what they need to do, but that a part of her heart will always remain with Zoe.
