Secrets In The Woods

I've been told stories, by my father growing up as a child of how we became to be. Our ancestors were animals first, living in the woods. Struggling to survive as the next were but one night it changed. Everything changed when a woman, kind and caring, gave them a new start as part human. They could continue living as they are free in the woods but also become civilized in the world as normal beings.

Thackery Samuel Johansson is a 'normal' fourteen year old entering the scary place called Habor High School. Not a very scary name but it doesn't change his fears of the dreaded halls he will now be walking through.

Older kids, more rough and big along with the same bullies who plagued him for years. Turning what should be a safe educational place into a somewhat hell.

Sammy, as he's called by his family, is an easy target. Antisocial, invisible for the most part, and a loner makes it no surprise. He chooses to keep to himself, unlike his six older brothers who made a name for themselves at the same school. He did make some attempts to make friends in junior high but a friendship built on lies was hard for him to keep wearing a straight face. He doesn't have the slightest idea how his family has kept the family secret under wraps for years.

Well for now though, Sammy is trying to survive his freshman year of high school invisible. Dealing with his overprotective parents prying into his life more and more. All the while keeping the 'family secret' secret and not forgetting watching his crush, Roman Anchors, from afar.

Not much different than the 'regular normal' fourteen year right?
