Ostensible: /äˈstensəb(ə)l,əˈstensəb(ə)l/ adj; stated or appearing to be true, but not necessarily so. ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ The blonde glares at him and chuckles, "What a great observation you've made, Matias." It's almost impossible not to feel the sarcasm dripping from his words. Matias glances at Gael sitting next to him, and his best friend shrugs. "Okay," Matias says hesitantly. "Do you always act like an asshead to your friends?" ♢ ♢ ♢ ♢ During one of his parties, Matias finds himself being schooled by a blonde stranger on making generalizations. It all started with him making a comment about his friend acting gay. The worst part is that this stranger attends his school, and he can't help but continue to run into him. It was just a joke, can't he just let it go? And why does he get along with everyone but Matias? Senior year was supposed to be drama free, so why can't Matias just live in peace.

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
