The Plant Crusade

Aubrey Luse

Ophelia is an awkward high schooler who happens to be friends with Kimberly, one of the most popular girls in school. But when Ophelia starts noticing poems on a board in the locker room, she starts anonymously replying. This conversation in poems continues until she runs into the mystery poet, Vivienne. In this encounter Ophelia realizes she is a lesbian and the girls kiss. They find comfort in having each other in a place where coming out would lead to social demise or worse.
