That’s because Renni Dean’s father got a promotion, and the family moved to Grand Saintlodge, the nearest big town.

She’s wearing a flower behind her ear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFawn Creek Middle might be small, but it has its tightly knit groups—the self-proclaimed “God Squad,” the jocks, the outsiders—just like anyplace else.
