All of these characters reside in the town of Wamego, Kansas. They're 9th graders at Wamego High School. Scarlet, Eli, and Drew met during middle school and found a bond by being at the bottom of the social ladder. They always have lunch together and are constantly at eachother's houses after school. The story begins halfway through their 9th grade year, and the trio is closer than ever. They are learning to navigate a new school and their own lives and identities when they are confronted with a mysterious death. (Possible spoilers in TW/Tags) !!!TW!!! There are several painful/stressful deaths implied and one shown and described. There is no real blood but there is a substance with a resemblance to blood. There are also some implication of abuse/trauma/bullying! Be careful if any of this triggers you and if see something that could trigger someone I didn't mention tell me! My writing can be pretty dark, and I want to make sure everyone reading my work is safe!
