Our story begins with Westly Johnson, a shy, chubby sixteen-year-old boy who’s just transferred to Brookwood High in hopes of escaping the bullying that haunted him at his last school.
Armed with nothing but a tattered backpack and a quiet wish for a fresh start, Westly steps through the gates of his new school, uncertain of what awaits him. Will he make friends? Will he finally find a place where he belongs?
Maybe just maybe he’ll find himself running toward something new: a sport, a team… even love.
This is a story of self-discovery, silent strength, and the messy, beautiful courage it takes to start over.
I won’t be continuing this series. But if you enjoy what you’ve read so far, let me know—and I might just pick it back up again.
