When sophomore Coralyn Moran walks through the hallway people see a self-assured girl. They see a girl who always seems to be smiling. They see a girl who is beyond beautiful. They see a girl who keeps her head held high.They see a girl who never seems to break, but none of them knows why she had to become strong.

She walked on the stage of the National American Miss Pageant, her hopes held high and her head held even higher. She walked on, her heart fluttering with anticipation and her stomach twisting with a mix of dread and a strange sort of excitement.

They were taking a 20-mile bike ride near Fort Lewis, Washington, but that was nothing for Wills.
