Growing Pains
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.Complete

*THIS STORY IS UNDER COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION.* Prickly, sarcastic, self-aware Austin is roped into a risky dare by his best friend that leads to one of the most frustratingly eventful days of his young life. Not one for attention, Austin has preferred a quiet life within the otherwise chaotic and cruel confines of high school that is fueled by pubescent hormones and pointless drama. For years, he has maintained that normalcy until he wakes up one day to a whirlwind of misunderstandings that he can't take back that was caused by a mistake his sister made. Within the misunderstandings, one new entity in his life --that is not by design of his own, springs up and somehow weasels his way into Austin's world. Noah. Noah is a new boy in town whose mission in life seems to be centered around driving Austin mad! He himself is shrouded in mystery and, despite his erratic mannerisms, something about him effortlessly pulls Austin to him as time goes by that even Austin's resistance cannot fight against. It's an innate need for freedom and affection that connects them in an otherworldly manner; which becomes their saving grace as they battle both present and past demons on a quest to find happiness.Complete
