It's 1946, San Francisco.  A year after the end of  World War II.  

Kelly Rossi does something dumb.  

No surprise there.  Just one of a million dumb things.  But this one's a doozy.  He's shipped north and east to barren Modoc County in California.  Too young to go to real jail, Kelly ends up at ... reform school.  

Well, you could call it that.  It's  really just a few buildings out in the middle of nowhere filled with angry, confused and sad boys. 

Kelly's the kind of fellow who knows how to make his own luck.  How to take a bad hand and still win big.  His plan is to ride out his two years  and do as little as possible.   Skate by, don't make waves.  Lay low.

All of that changes....  when he meets his bunkmate, a sullen, silent boy named  Lee Clarke.

Kelly can't resist a mystery. He has to find out what makes Lee tick, why he's locked up, and if maybe, just maybe, he has a secret in common with Kelly.  A terrible secret.    A secret that might help them become friends.  Or even...something more.

Ha!!!  This is my reform school trope book.  I've planned it for a very long time.  Finally ready to get going.  Hope you enjoy the ride!  (sorry)

(Before You Leave #1) She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes... Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time. And she's certainly no snitch. She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos. She was misjudged and misunderstood. And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore. They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline. She's not going to make it that easy for them. Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla. He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well. But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back. And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school. (Marked mature for language and brief talk about sex.) *Still editing parts/making corrections* (Sequel is called: When I Stay)

🌈【𝒶𝓃 𝓂𝓂 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎】 "I felt him gently press his hand into the curve at the small of my back, smile against my ear, and my heart raced as he pressed me into him just a little bit more, leading me around slowly to the music. I buried my face in his shoulder to hide how red my face had gotten. I wanted his gentle, callused hands to press so much harder against me... His careful touch was lighting me on fire.

Finn had finally done it. He had saved enough money to attend the town's all-boys school. After years of bullying from the public school, he was ecstatic to start his first day. Of course, Finn hadn't expected to be 20 minutes late on the first day. Nor did he anticipate being shoved up against lockers by one of the most attractive men he has ever seen. --- Mateo ruled Oakwood Academy, so he wouldn't miss the chance to show the fresh meat just who was in charge there. Mateo was a king, and he wanted to play with his new pawn, nothing wrong with that. Mateo went after Finn because he was new and naive, well, that's what he told himself anyway.
