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)

30 parts Complete Mature

Growing up, Julian Rivera always knew he was different. Instead of wanting toy cars, he wanted Barbie dolls. Instead of liking girls, he liked boys. And now a teenager in highschool, instead of wanting to wear male attire, he'd rather wear crop tops and booty shorts. Most of his childhood he has been bullied and made fun of because of the way he is but either way, he ignores the hate and continues doing whatever he wants. Sophomore year had just arrived and Julian couldn't be any less excited to go back to the constant tormenting and hazing. Although having his close brother, Jamie and his best friend, Jaliea at his side, high school's still a tough place. Constantly getting played by boys, Julian's over even trying for love until one certain boy named Andre Santos catches his eye. Being the most hated in school and Andre being on the football, track, and basketball team and at that, also being a Junior, it seems nothing but a far fetched dream but when Andre starts showing slight interest back, Julian is confused if he's being genuine or not. With down low ex boyfriends, envious sibling girlfriends, and other new conflicts constantly popping up in Julian's world, how will he ever make it through? Especially when his deepest secret of all is spread rumor across the school and he's faced with the choice to chose between 3 different boys.
