Alone.
Stressed.
Trapped.
These are three emotions that Tyler Ellis deals with everyday of his life, and since this is how it's gone, why should his junior year in high school be any different?
Being 16 years old has its perks, but with what Ty deals with, it's not much to brag about.
I mean, he could always win a "My Life Sucks" award...?
Maybe.
But living with only his father, who tries his best to support Ty, is not much. His father has to lean mostly on Ty in fact, since he knows nothing about anything and Ty at least has some background knowledge (and the Internet on his side) about how to work around the house. Many chores like cooking, washing, dusting, cleaning, are all left to Ty.
On top of this, he carries a secret. Not even his father knows about this one, but it all changes junior year.
The popular kid, Adam Dahlberg, has a supposedly perfect life. A loving mother and father, a large group of friends on hand, even everyone at school treats him with respect, while Ty gets bullied and put down more often than you think.
And yet, nothing is as it seems.
Adam also carries his own burdens, his own problems, and even with all of his friends around him he feels alone. Lost in a crowd of group-think, not being able to make his own decisions.
And surprisingly enough, the same secret Ty has carried since the beginning of high school.
Josh was the new kid and he was making a big impression. He's loud, he's a total punk, he gets in trouble and doesn't give a fuck what people think (of course))).
Tyler is the cute pastel-y kid in school who wears cute clothing and sometimes heels. He's friends with all the popular girls and practically everyone else in school. He and Josh are polar opposites.
And they're roommates at boarding school, now.
Everyone's curious about how this is going to work. Tyler hopes he doesn't fuck up in trying to make friends. He liked Josh. And Josh likes him. But Josh has a reputation to keep. But that can be put on hold if Tyler can make him feel something again. Good or bad feeling, Josh is desperate and doesn't care anymore.
