High school is always the most happening time in an individual’s life. Sometimes, we find friends and relationships that stay with us forever, and sometimes we somehow begin finding solace in the loneliness that comes with the shift from middle school to high school as some friends move away. Where the former consisted of people like Oliver, Ashley, Seth and Emily, the latter consisted of people like Evan. Evan, after Justin and Kev left had been distraught and alone again, but that didn’t change anyone else’s experience around him. High schoolers often live a life of their own, fighting their own demons, and battling their own struggles. Most times, their parents too, are oblivious to the changes of the skies upon their children. The skies certainly changed over the Castle Rock High School in the year 2009 for everyone where there were some old promotions from middle school, while there were some new entrants, with new stories, and new passions. Oliver, coming from the children’s home was just settling into his adoptive parent’s home and was admitted into the Castle Rock High School. On the very first day he made friends with Seth, who was a Canadian-turned-Denver boy. Seth only loved two things before high school. Sports, and Music. That changed when he began falling for a transitioning woman, Ashley. Ashley was a girl, who previously identified as a boy in middle school, and with that change, came bullying and low self-esteem. This led for her to not just have body-image issues but also dwell into harming herself with razor-cuts. Amidst this chaos and bullying came her knight in shining armor in Seth, who accepted her for who she was. Through all of this, Oliver stuck by the two of them, as they formed a band together and began jamming sessions and also involved Oliver’s love interest, Emily. Trouble hit paradise when the Medicine Man came into the picture.
