Fifteen year old Blossom isn't used to constant attention and is happy living like that. Sixteen year old Ethan is an overall optimistic boy with high hopes for the future. -------- "I'm Ethan Grey. I'm a junior. I've seen you in a few of my classes, but you're really quiet," He continued talking, but never actually gained her interest. "Please don't talk to me. You'll only get hurt," Blossom finally replied. She didn't look at him long enough to see his raised eyebrow and his confused look. He shrugged it off. "We should hang out more. Here, give me your phone," He tugged it out of her hand, going to add his number into it. It was her turn to be confused. Why had he cared? Was it pure pity? Probably. She knew she had to warn him once more but for once, she finally felt wanted. It made her feel warm inside, and it was exciting for her. She was grateful for this boy, even though he clearly didn't know what he was getting himself into.

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.
