“The Grand Gang: Stories from a High School” is a collection of stories based on weird things that have and inevitably will happen at/in our school and surrounding…lives, written by Summer and Jacqueline. Read more about us on the “About the Authors” page!
Here’s a little insight into the main characters of our tales:
[Names have been changed, so we don’t get punched at school.]
First, there’s Kent. He has a—let’s say—“fragile” voice and only hangs out with girls, but swears he isn’t gay. He projects the air of a “Goody-Two-Shoes”, but knows a slew of dirty words.
After Kent, always comes SadEyes. Her name is inspired by her facial expression: she permanently looks sad. She’s ‘best friends’ with Kent, tall and loves to exercise.
And there’s Lila, who has an anger problem, a serious long-distance boyfriend and a few crushes here.
There’s Flathead (name inspired by the shape of his head)—one of Juliette’s ex-boyfriends. He used to be unbearably insane (Check out Part One…there’s definitely more to come!), but then got a new girlfriend, which seemed to calm him down.
And there’s Juliette. She went out with Flathead once upon a time.
I think Turner is worth mentioning, since he’ll probably be in most stories. He’s ridiculously obsessed with exercising and protein shakes, uptight and Republican.
And Zeke—whom Jacqueline, Juliette and I all took turns liking. Not so much “turns”, though…more like “at the same time”. It’s figured out now… mostly…I think…
Oh! Who could forget the Norwegian Model and his ditsy ‘girlfriend’, Fruit Fly? See “”Best?” “Friend?”"
