Beach in November

In a world where the Supernatural exists, you’d think bullies and homophobes would be the least of my problems. But when you lived in the quiet, beachside town of Ryterville, South Carolina, anything was possible.

Everything there was routine, picturesque, and simple. Made to fit the mold seventy years ago and never changed. So, naturally, when a new family who didn’t fit the mold moved in, it didn’t take long for everyone to know.

I met Sebastian Hwang after getting embarrassingly beaten up by my bully, Rachel. He asked if I was okay and ended up being in two of my classes. He sat with me at lunch the first day he arrived, and things went on from there. If only I knew how involved our lives would get. How entangled and destined our fates were.

I played classical piano, and he was a ballet dancer. My high school put on an annual talent competition where you combine two or more of the performing arts, and I asked him to perform with me. Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake.

In the dizzying whirlwind of romance, secrets, a talent competition, and the Supernatural; there was no way to predict what would happen next.

Let’s just hope it wasn’t death. (It was almost death). .
