Starting Over

Kai James Thomas - 16, gay, been homeschooled his entire life until this year when his mom passed from cancer, and he had to move in with his dad, stepmom, stepsiblings, and halfsiblings, and he has to attend the private school his siblings attend. Is the only child of his parents, and only child of his mom, who died 4 days ago, and was buried the day before. He's been living in a group home until things could get settled with his dad and stepmom, their house, and the paperwork. The Social Worker's dropping him off at their home by noon. He gets tested by the school to determine his grade level, and what classes he needs to be placed in, and it's determined that he's in the 12th grade, and in some advanced classes. He meets a boy and girl (both 18) who become his friends almost instantly, and eventually meets his future boyfriend through his 2 new friends. Hadn't spent a lot of time with his dad prior to now because his dad's always been very busy with work.
