Distraction. What crosses your mind as your eyes read this word?
Diversion, disturbance, perhaps?
To Manny, it means escaping reality, even just for a minute.
As the only child of a very much not functioning, realist bunch of parents, it is safe to say that he doesn't have the easiest of lives and barely ever feels understood.
As his parents again misunderstand his free spirit, they decide to bring them over to his grandfather over the summer so perhaps he will return to real life.
Manny's grandpa: a communist, a severe and moody older adult.
Could these summer holidays turn for the worse?

He Was A Skater Boy [BACK WITH S2]
Robbie Blue hates clichés. And what could be more cliché than transferring to a completely new school in the middle of your senior year? Well, how about transferring to a cotton-candy-colored private school, filled with rich kids who live in mansions and drive sports cars with private chauffeurs? -🪷- Sunny Palm Coast wasn't exactly where 18-year-old Robbie had imagined to spend his final months of high school. A brand new student at Harmony Heart Academy even less. Yet there he was, thrown into the deep end with not a single clue on how to survive this chaos. Amidst all of the unknown, one thing was crystal clear; Robbie would do anything to stay away from clichés. However, this proves to be harder than he had anticipated when he meets the school's self-proclaimed troublemaker, and everything Robbie thought he was certain of now seems as unclear as ever.
