Enduring a lot of pain and anger from his past, Cassidin Kennedy wasn't ready to transfer schools. Leaving his best friend, the only person that he confided in, he held deep resentment in his heart. He went to his new school with nothing but the mindset of hating it. However, it was apparent that he still wanted to be the kind of person he saw in his friend. With kindness in his heart, he would keep an open mind and show kindness where it is needed.
As he tries to settle into his new life, he meets many new people. Some were kind and welcoming, while others were hostile and unaccepting. Upon getting closer to these people, he shows his kindness once more. He took it upon himself to guide them through their problem, as his best friend did for him.
During all that, a sequence of events allowed him to be a Superhero. Now he can show his kindness by saving others. However, even after all that, can he truly move on from his past and become better because of it?

What he did enraged me so much that I threw my hardest punch at his face, forcing his head to snap to the side.
"If you ever touch him again--" before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed my arm and slammed me against the wall.
"If I touch him again, what?!" he shouted, his face inches from mine, as I trembled with rage. "Got a big crush on the kid, huh?!" he exploded, and I could feel the weight of everyone's eyes on us.
