For one day at a party. Which ultimately gets him grounded. And he didn't care because he thought having a night of freedom was worth it... at first. But then things slowly started to fall apart. From his home life with his horrible parents, to the annoying and irritating guy who only over complicates his life more, to the sudden virus in town. Everything starts building up, colliding, and eventually, making him decide to either stick it out, survive it, or leave everything in the ashes. STARTED: JUNE 27th. ENDED:???

The only group of people they have not dared to meddle with happen to be the most popular girls and guys in school. But one day, Cameron risks a bold move.
