When alex was 7 they lost their parents in a car accident. They were at their aunts house at the time and was confused when instead of their parents picking them up it was this weird lady they didn't know. They were taken to this office where they sat for a long time. Finally another person they didn't know came and picked them up. The person explained that their parents weren't coming back and they had died in a car accident. They were brought to a foster home where they spent 2 weeks at before they were sent to another one. Over the next few years they jumped between foster homes. Most of the parents in the foster homes didn't want Alex because they were "hard to deal with". Alex learned how to pick locks at their 3rd foster home when they were locked in their room with an older foster kid. The older kid, Drew, took them under his wing and taught them how to steal, pick locks, and how to get away with it. No matter what foster home alex went to Drew always found them. They finally got adopted when they were 14. The family didn't care for them but they were willing to adopt just to get them out of the system and they said that they could "fix her". They were a heavy religious family and restricted a lot of what Alex could or couldn't do. They weren't allowed to see Drew anymore. They weren't allowed to go anywhere without permission from their parents. Their clothes had to be approved by their parents. The list of things went on and on. When they came out as non-binary their parents didn't approve and forced them to dress like a girl. They constantly told Alex they would send them to conversion therapy if they didn't conform. Finally after a year of living there they had enough and decided to rebel. It started slow, sneaking out, changing clothes whenever they got away. They finally saw Drew again after sneaking out. He convinced them to start stealing again so they did. They didn't get caught until their parents came into their to do a routine check while Alex was at school. Alex got grounded, everything was taken away from them and they were told the cops were going to be called tomorrow and they had the night to get everything packed. Instead of the cops being called the next day, they got told they were going to be sent to this school.

A/N: this was based on a school for delinquents. Hope yall enjoyed it.
