16 year old Chase moves into a small town of Celmont Hills and joins the local high school. Being in a new place he deals with the good and bad of being the new guy. He goes through the daily struggles and joys of being a teenager, and works his way to a dream that seems it's far out of his reach against everyone that's putting him down. Being in a society that discourages people to chase their dreams, the path from the bottom seems a long way to the top.
Any resemblance to names and places is purely coincidental.

Dreams are worth chasing no matter the obstacles in the way. Drew, a middle school student who hopes to entertain people one day, spends his days trapped in the prison on the hill, desperately avoiding those who want to take his dream away.

Drew is the primary target of a clique of bullies, and every breath he takes is both a blessing and a curse as he desperately tries to climb the social ladder. As his emotional state crumbles and desperation takes hold, Drew yearns for a chance to step into the spotlight and reveal his true potential. Even a single friend who sees beyond his notorious outcast status could bring a glimmer of hope to the challenges he faces in the prison on the hill. Dream Chaser focuses on bullying, self-discovery, acceptance, and overcoming obstacles we sometimes can't control in hopes of finding happiness.Complete![Chasing The Queen [ DISCONTINUED ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/92587739-256-k495972.jpg)
