Brandon had now been transferred to Cassie's high school for his senior year. He now had to make new friends, adapt to the new school environment and somehow manage to get good grades that would qualify him for college admissions. Clearly, he had his work cut out for him.
Brandon's first week in his new school as a senior was really tough. He didn't really talk to people but he met and became friends with Dante. He drank a lot, this made Dante go deeper and deeper into his old ways. It was like a two way struggle between Brandon and David with Nattie on his side. Nattie didn't like Brandon one bit. She resented his presence and didn't do a very good job hiding it.
