By the Summer Swing

Tedious.

That's the word Ethan might use for his life. He's devoid of any close relationships, save his singular friend Tommy. He's not part of any clubs or extracurriculars. On top of that, his parents work for long hours so he's mostly alone. Worst of all, he doesn't seem to care. Some part of him think's he doesn't know how.

One day this all begins to change when he ends up forced into community service during his summer break with a girl named Lyra. Something's different about her, and perhaps she can make a difference in Ethan as well.
