Ian was a nice kid. He liked dinosaurs. He had friends. He could play sports. Then puberty hit and everyone cared about posting up pictures of their chests. He's sixteen and he still hasn't caught up to everyone else. He isn't girl crazy. He doesn't try to be cool, but somehow he got talked into going to a celebrity sweet sixteen. Now it's too late to go back. Now he needs to act like a "bad boy" to stand a chance of getting inside. Once he's in there, then what? He does drugs and loses his virginity? This wasn't the life Ian wanted for himself. But then...he's not sure what life he does want. --- Written December 2013 Re-edited 2022. Like most of my work, it goes to some dark places.
