(un)clear

New York, 2005, suburbs.

We think everything in our lives is clear, but nothing is. Clarity doesn't exist in this society, between school and the choices we have to make. This story isn't clear enough when the demons of the past resurface.

Especially those brown eyes that stare at me constantly, ready to devour me: he's been my friend for almost two years, but suddenly: his father marries my mother, he becomes my stepbrother.

But damn, when it's not already hard to put up with him at school and in my group of friends, an art competition is being planned at the school, and the perfect hockey captain decides to enter. This perfect captain, named Ceres Stabler, is a complete jerk. His body is ruined by alcohol, his joints, his fights, and his group.

Just when I thought everything wasn't going to go so far down the drain, stories of drugs and theft that aren't clear come up. Of course, Medea Benson doesn't know. Why would I worry about such nonsense?

Nevertheless, Ceres's father is a cop and determined to dig deep into our secrets, even the most secret ones.

By avoiding gangs, alcohol, drugs, anything that isn't clear. A brighter light will appear, but at what cost?
