At Westbrook Secondary in Melbourne, everyone knows who the “older boys” are. They’re the ones throwing parties every weekend, smoking behind the sports sheds, getting suspended every other month, and somehow still being treated like celebrities around school. Sixteen-year-old Ezra is one of the worst of them. He’s charming when he wants to be, funny enough to get away with almost anything, and reckless in a way people mistake for confidence. Teachers hate him, younger students are intimidated by him, and half the school secretly wants his attention anyway.
