Brutes

An lgbtq+ story of a boy named Xavier, who's being bullied for liking boy's, seems cliché I know, he transfers to a new high school, starting off as a freshmen, he's constantly getting bullied by others,brutes, the definition for brutes: a savagely violent person or animal and are unreasoning. He has to go through being abused and discriminated and beaten, he meets new people, and learns their secrets and gains there trust, but what happens if he tells those secrets, then who is considered the brute?
