High School Boys

After another fight, Raven finds herself under the control of social services and ends up in a new place where she has to rebuild her life. At Brayshow School, she quickly encounters Maddock, Royce, and Captain — three students whose opinions influence the order among peers. Those around prefer not to argue with them, but the newcomer is not going to accept the rules just because they demand it from her. The confrontation begins almost immediately. The heroine is used to responding to pressure with resistance and does not want to show fear, while the local leaders perceive her defiance as a challenge to their position. This conflict forms the basis of the story, where the school hierarchy is closely linked to issues of trust, personal boundaries, and the struggle for the right to make one's own decisions.
