Mature
Thad hasn't had the easiest life. It doesn't help that he's been called a 'she' for most of it.

After attempting to end it, he enrolls in Dalton Academy. 

Meeting
an old friend whose life he saved without knowing it,
his old friend's boyfriend who is flamboyant but also sweet,
a boy who seems to read his mind and know exactly what he's going through,
a boy who gets on his nerves but he can't help but love,
a quieter boy who balances him out,
a sweet boy with a motherly personality,
an anxious boy who hardly seems to relax,
and a rather oblivious boy whose boyfriend gives him a very bad vibe,
his year seems like it's going to be more eventful than he could ever imagine.

But his friends haven't had the easiest life, either. Some of their pasts are dark, darker than a teenager's life should be. Some of their presents are dark. And their futures?

Well, that's for them to decide.

A Breath of Fresh Air by HeyImZackC
11 parts Complete
For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.
