Vincent "Vinny" Laurens is a 17 year old boy who's very shy and socially awkward. Oh yeah, and he's super gay, too. So, maybe that explains why he's been coming to this café over and over again. It's not because he's white (I mean, sure he is, but he's not for stereotypes). Not because he likes caffeine (it makes his even more anxious). Nah, it's all because of dumb Alexander Gonzalez, that cute barista that works at "Dark And Sweet Café". Of course, he's got no chance with Alex; or, does he?

Cassandra "Cass" Monroe is going back to high school for senior year after her failed suicide attempt. Forest Grant High sucks ass for her. The stares she gets in the hallway suck, her classmates suck, and nobody wants her to sit at their table. Typical. After she winds up eating lunch in the bathroom, where she finds Emory Hicks, a girl who is just as damaged as her. Join them as they find out about their past and learn who they really are.
