Don't Run!
Shawn Heisen, a 15 year old introvert, coward, mad genius and a certified shut-in.
Something broke inside him, 3 years ago. Something that made him feel miserable about his own cowardice.
Something that made him hate himself to his core.
From that point, he shut himself in. He never took a step out of his small rented apartment, a "Haven" in which he lived alone with his roommate, Remila.
She took every single one of his problems on her shoulders from the beginning. She had become everything for him. A mother, a father, a teacher, a guardian... just EVERYTHING!
His life was going smoothly, until a call rang from his parents, about whom he never knew, who lived on the other side of the world.
They told him how they were gonna help him get into a school. And the school was
Novainé Pheonixâ. One of the most elite and prestigious schools that one can get into. Students could only dream of getting into this school, but for Shawn, it was more of a nightmare than a dream.
He had to get into this school and graduate high school.
But the problem was, he never went to school for the past 3 years and never had the courage to socialise again.
However, one thing was sure. That is, he was gonna get 'Blacklisted' for not attending school for 3 years straight.
While in the dilemma of whether joining this stupidly elite academy or not, he meets his childhood friend, Nico. Who was coincidentally in the same academy that he was forced to join.
Shawn, for the first time socializes with someone other than Remila. For the first time he hopes that he could heal.
With Nico's help he manages to land into Novainé with decent marks. And by luck he lands in the same class as Nico.
However a sheep will never be welcomed in a lion's party. That is, just because he was not from an elite's background.Shawn had to face persistent bullying by the ultra-richs and the delinquents. Which made him to shut himself up again.
A month had passed since he stopped going to the academy, one day he gets a surprise visit by a cute stranger her name was Nielle Frino, a classmate of Shawn, with whom he never interacted in his life.
From that day they started to hangout with each other more often, they also joined literature club, which was on the verge of closing. Nico had joined them too.
