Alex had a very bad childhood. abandonment, death, and a huge hurricane. on top of that, he was bullied for all of high school. when he moves to new York, he makes friends, discovers new things, develops a crush on one of his roommates, and finds out his high school bullies go to the same college as him, and are in most of his classes. every time something good happens, it seems as if something bad follows. this proves some real problems for him like the time he- well why don't you read this book and find out for yourself?
Clay's life seems fine, but is everything except from fine due to bullies ruining his happiness day by day. His grandpa is the only one who knows everything about him, but when he gets really sick and passes away, Clay's life completely collapses.
To regain his control, he starts developing obsessive behaviour, getting so bad that it turns into OCD. The control he tried to regain gets lost even further with the day.
But when the only place, his sport, he finds peace also gets ruined by bullies and his OCD, George is suddenly there to stick up for him when everyone else isn't.
At least... that's what it seems like.
