Heightvillage High was a place where no stone was ever left unturned. Every corner you cut, someone was on the brink of exposing a secret they had meant to keep hidden forever. The lives of each student came with a tantalizing twist that caused rifts in every direction. Heightvillage had a way of bringing out the worst in people. It unearthed people's patterns, lies, and ugliest scars. This was very true of the experience of the very audacious Nylockee Castuar. Now a sophomore retracing his connection between the past and his current reality, Nylockee struggles to find the meaning of life. Between the carnivorous demons within himself and the lingering fear of his parents, he must cling to whatever small inclining of stability he can find. Engraved within the depths of Nylockee's very unsettling first year of high school were some of the most gruesome, harsh truths he's had to face. Sadly, the start of Sophomore year meant the battle linking self-discovery and many unnamed closeted realities had finally begun.

Nylockee is a fifteen year old boy who lives amongst family and friends, but everything isn't always sugar and spice and everything nice in his hometown. Nylockee first discovered he was gay when he was raped at the age of seven and now suffers daily recounting his past and how it interferes with his present. Spoken Like A Ninth Grader is a story about a ninth graders transition into high school and the events of his secreted life of being gay in a house full of homophobic false Christians. Will Nylockee be able to survive his judgmental family and survive his quest through his very first year in high school ? Or will he crumple ?
