Yes, I'm Jane: Freshman

By Jonathan Chandler

Jane Roberts is a young black queer high schooler that lives in the conservative town of Northpeak, Connecticut and attends John Thomas Preparatory School. It's at John Thomas, a school that is predominately white, that Jane feels for the most part that he does not belong. Jane is not the biggest fan of his school, having to deal with issues such as covert racism and constant reminders that he will never fit in on the social ladder, no matter how many friends he think he has. The headmaster of his school Duke Dunger is an older black man who is constantly making uncomfortable comments to Jane and believes that most people of his own race, cause trouble. One day Jane gets singled out and receives detention for having his electronics out in class, though the majority of his class had theirs out as well. While in detention Jane meets Louis Chavez, a new transfer student who was also singled out by the administration out of several kids for showing up late to class. It's in detention where they bond and grow a fondness for each other. While hanging out with each other, Louis decides to kiss Jane and while they both enjoyed the moment, Dunger catches them red handed. From there, their lives go down hill. From threats of suspension, to numerous protests from both sides of the argument, Jane's life is now the forefront to many political and social conversations in the media. Will Jane prevail and overcome this? Or will he crumble to those who want to see him fail?
