Five years ago, Alan Thorpe was a happy, social, pokemon loving boy that everyone in the small town of Nashville, Indiana loved. But that all changed when his parents died in a car crash, leaving him to live with his aunt in New York. Now Alan comes back to his hometown, but he's not the same happy boy he was once before. No one recognizes him at all and he wants it to stay that way. All he wants is to finish high school, ignored and left alone. The only problem with his plan: The rich, popular, Chase O'Neil taking an interest in him. As Alan fights his past demons, he will discover that there is much more he has to go through in order to achieve the happiness that he wants so badly. Will Alan find that happiness, or will he forever be haunted by his dark past? (THIS STORY IS NOT EDITED, MEANING THERE WILL BE MANY MISTAKES. IF YOU FIND ANY MISTAKES, PLEASE COMMENT AND TELL ME. IT BUGS ME THAT THERE ARE MISTAKES, BUT I WON'T BE ABLE TO EDIT IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SO DO TELL ME. PLEASE.)

Joseph, a boy struggling internally in a decision to tell his family (and maybe the rest of his world) about his sexuality is keeping a deep secret he's kept since he was first attracted to anyone. While he struggles inwardly, another battle is occurring outwardly, too; a group of boys are making his life a living hell. He's been hospitalized too many times to count. Things begin to look up as he meets another boy, Zeke, who happens to accept him for who he is. But it's short-lived as not only himself, but his friends, are put at risk by a few hateful kids. High school bullying really is a big deal.

Bisexual, Finn McCormick finally gets to leave the hospital after a car accident a few weeks before. His fancy blue hair is fading and his roots are horrendous, but he wouldn't know that, would he? Because Finny has recently been proclaimed legally blind. Patrick hates queers. But he tries to change that when his beloved brother, Caleb, comes out as gay to his family. One of Caleb's best friends, Finn, confuses him to no end. With scarred eyes and a gimp hand, you'd think little Finny would be helpless and vulnerable; NOT strong willed and independent. Intrigued by the blue haired boy, Pat tries even harder to drop his hatred of gays. But will he be able? Old habits die hard. (lol not my best summary. i'll try to fix later perhaps)
