Beginnings and Endings

By Anonymous

Well, it's almost the end of the school year, which means that in less than two weeks, I'll have graduated and now free to relax and enjoy the summer. I'm honestly extremely anxious whenever I think about graduating. At the beginning of the year, I was excited–I would be going to a new school, meet new people, and just have fun over there. Now, however, my emotions are starting to combine, and I'm having a difficult time organizing  my thoughts and focusing on only one thing. I guess it's because I don't really want to leave school now. Not because of the teachers–I'll miss them, definitely–but the fact that I won't see my friends for a long time, maybe only once or twice through my high school years, if I'm lucky. I only want to spend as much time as I can with them and just enjoy the last few weeks of school without getting overwhelmed.

I guess I just need to put myself out there, let myself break of the shell I've confined myself to, and give myself something to do in order to distract myself from the voices in my mind.

Over the summer before his final year in high school, it is revealed that he had broken his arm due to falling from a tree. He hears about the suicide of a boy named Conner Murphy, the brother of Zoe Murphy, who Evan has a crush on, but he can't bring himself to say it. In the wake of Conner's suicide, Evan finds himself creating a new identity when he decides to show that everyone is not alone, but ends up failing in the end when he begins to make the project about himself, despite him winning Zoe's trust and friendship. He's able to persevere through all of this by the end, despite his mishaps, and begins to accept himself. I would definitely recommend the book (and the musical) to anyone who connects de...
