Hello everybody! I am currently writing a novel, and I'm deciding to post the progress here for tips and stuff! Right now, this is just the outline and the main characters and all, but I hope that as I write it, you all will enjoy! Feel free to give critique, and I need story name ideas, as well! So please, feel free to help!
Characters
Leo Underwood- Main character. He is a 5’6 boy who has dark brown wavy hair and green eyes. He is a reckless and stubborn 16-year-old, who seems happy all the time. However, he is struggling with mental illness, and no one knows besides his family and his beloved best friend.
List of Mental Illnesses:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- ADHD
- Major Depressive Disorder
Cedric Miller- The main character’s best friend. He is 5’11 with black hair and blue eyes. While, he is strict, he is a kind-hearted and caring 16-year-old and would do absolutely anything for the people that he loves and cares about.
General Idea
Leo is the most daring kid in the school, and he seems like he could be the happiest kid, as well. However, on the inside, Leo is struggling with his mental health. He doesn’t want anyone to worry about him, so he hides it all while he’s at school, but when he is alone, he is a completely different person. He also tries to hide the fact that he has strong feelings for his best friend, Cedric.
Cedric is the only one, besides Leo’s family, that knows he is struggling. Cedric desperately wants to help his friend, but Leo is stubborn, and doesn’t want to bother him. Cedric has tried multiple times to tell his friend that he doesn’t bother him, but Leo never listens, and always turns him away.
General Plot
Exposition: Leo is being his normal self at school every day. Even while kids pick on him, he still seems happy. Cedric knows how Leo really feels on the inside and checks up on him. Leo wants to feel happy and have more friends than just Cedric. He also wants to ask out Cedric.
Rising Action: Leo slowly starts to show his real self in school. As he does, people immediately start to notice. Some people pick on him more, some people ask him if he is alright. The teachers start to notice, and they call Leo’s parents. Leo’s parents were not happy about this and started yelling at him more than they did before.
Climax: Leo finally snaps and starts having mental breakdowns in class. Most of the time, Cedric would comfort him. However, Cedric turns up missing from school, and isn’t answering his phone. This causes Leo to panic and run off to search for his friend.
Falling Action: Cedric is found a few days later. He had run away from home, because his family had been trying to force him to stop being friends with Leo. He had also got his phone taken away by his parents that very same day, so was unable to contact Cedric.
Resolution: Leo confesses his feelings to Cedric, and Cedric likes him back. Leo and Cedric start dating. However, Leo is still struggling with his mental health.
