General Point of View—

As they pulled into the Orange County Resort in Laguna Beach, Adam silently stared out the window. He looked around his car to see the familiar faces of his family. Drew, his slightly older brother, texting some girl from their old school. He defiantly had what every average teenager wanted in a high school life. Adam, not so much. Adam looked towards the front of the car, to see his mother in the passengers seat, reading a book about how to be a good parent. How ironic, right? And last but not least, Omar, Audra's husband, and Adam's stepfather. Omar has married Audra when Adam was only 4 years old, and Drew being 5.

Adam and his family had just moved from Houston, Texas. They had lived there for nearly 4 years until "it" happened.

Adam was never one to stick in a crowd. He had a certain group of friends that would never judge him for him. He always hung out with them, and only told them his "secret."

Of course, they accepted him. And Adam took that as a sign. He decided that if they were going to accept him, everyone else would. So, he told the entire school his secret. Quickly, Adam realized that the choice he made was a terrible one. Almost instantly, he started getting rude comments, and started getting shoved into more walls. He tried to act like it didn't bother him, but on the inside, it was killing him. He wanted nothing more to be normal. He had two choices. Be normal, and hurt from the inside and out, or be who he truly was, and hurt from the inside and out. He realized that there was no easy way to live life.

He tried to convince his parents to move, but they didn't budge.

At one point in time, Drew was invited to a party, and was somehow managed to bring Adam. At first, Adam fit in, but mostly because everyone that was there was flat out wasted and couldn't tell who was who. Then the bullies arrived and made sure Adam would have a horrific night. They got a hold of Adam, and took him to the back room. They were just going to mess around with him, until things got out of hand. They pulled out a knife, and teased Adam with it, waving it side to side. They weren't going to do anything, until Adam fought back and broke some guys nose. That guy grabbed Adam by the wrist, and jolted the knife into Adam's side.

It had been around ten minutes before someone actually found Adam laying on the ground in the back room.

As soon as they saw him, they screamed for help, and called the police. Drew made his way to the room, and held Adam's hand throughout the entire thing!

Once at the hospital, they called Adam's parents, and they were there within ten minutes. Adam had have surgery to fix the wound, but he lived.

He was hospitalized for almost a month, before being able to leave.

As soon as he left, he started asking his parent in he could have the surgery to remove his breasts. Somehow, he managed to get them to say yes after about a month of begging.

The procedure went fine, and he was bedridden for another month.

Once able to walk, Adam flaunted around his chest like he was born with it.

Of course, after the procedure, he started working out, and eating healthy. HE wasn't turning into Drew, but more of a new and improved Adam.

After the incident, neither he nor Drew returned to school.

They decided it would be best to change school. Of course, they were set on just changing schools, but when they found out that there was only a few days left of school, they figured why not start vacationing early? It was Audras idea to go to Laguna Beach.

It would be good to get away from everyone and everything. Right before they started their vacation, Omar got a job offer somewhere far away, and they all decided it would be best to take the opportunity and start a new life.

Right now, they had just pulled up to Laguna Beach, where they would be staying for the next 3 and a half months.

Adam looked out the window to see people running around, enjoying themselves. He was glad they were getting a new chance at life.

"Well kids, looks like we're here." Says Omar, as he pulls the car up the drive thru. Omar parked the car and handed a man standing there the keys.

As everyone else was getting out if the car, they couldn't help but look around at the sight that was in front of their eyes.

It was beautiful. Sandy blue skies, and beautiful girls running around. It was amazing. Adam couldn't be happier.

"Well." He said, closing the car door. "Heads up to a new life.
