William Seth Shepherd (*cough* Liam *cough*) is a 17 year old outcast (not that its stated at all). Believing that he is completely useless (*cough* title *cough*) its huge news for him when he finds the hidden school of Sector Eight (that's right, not Sector Seven, not Sector Five, Sector Eight). Coming to Sector Eight is new opportunities for Liam, such as expressing his sexuality, at least his fans perceptive. Meet his bestie (boyfriend) Markus (who we randomly switch to Mark) Flint, and his also sorta bestie, Cliff Wood, as they too completely avoid the subject that they are probably the most powerful people known to the world (other than the headmasters, but what are they're names again?). The odd thing about friends is that they care about you (i think) and this seems to be Markus and Cliffs real danger. Markus gets a little too attached to Liam which has nothing to do with past trauma and becomes slightly homocidal. Why, you may ask? Well I guess you'll have to read and find out in maybe the 100th chapter! Everything seems completely fine (beside his slightly too clingy friend), up until a mysterious girl shows up. The unnamed person who is obviously suspicious but no one really actively questions seems to show up more and more. But who is she? An old friend? Liam's sister who he somehow doesn't have any recollection of? A random chick whos age doesn't at all line up as a needed time zone? Find out her identity in maybe the final chapter when no one really cares at that point (really, what was her name again?) All this in the New York best seller, Useless (the completely unofficial name).
