This is the story of three young adults struggling with the world and themselves. Devan is coping with the loss of his mother, Cody is dealing with new, conflicting feelings, and Mary is trying desperately to find her place in the world. These three teenagers’ lives touch barely at the edges, because they all go to the same high school. Whittington High. We’ll start with young Devan.
Devan is an average boy of 16. On the shorter side, at only 5 feet 6 inches, but nothing too bad. His dyed-black hair swept gracefully over his right eye, fading to a clear midnight-blue as it went. He’s a natural blonde, but he would die if anyone knew that, he’d been dying it since he was 10, almost. Devan’s left ear had a gold hoop through it, as a result of a bet. Although he complained, he actually liked it. Other than those few attributes, Devan was pretty average. However, it may be useful to mention the large amounts of people who comment on his ‘feminine’ face. His large grey eyes, cute nose, and high cheekbones. Devan generally shrugged off such comments though, silently regretting anything that made him stand out too much.
But there is a reason we are following Devan for this story. But, I am afraid I cannot tell you at this moment in time. Don’t fret, you’ll find out soon enough. Shall we continue? I think we will.

I'll update with a better excerpt later. i thought i would start at the crappy beginning.
