The Unwilling Rainbow:

Michael Moore has graduated from Blue River High School and he's going back as one of the alumni to help new students after fourteen years. As he's there, he goes down memory lane and realized that he hasn't fully recovered from an incident that scarred him for life.

♡

Michael Moore was born on November 25, 1990, in the small town of Blue River, Maine. He was very sweet, kind, and intelligent. Every parent and stranger that met the boy on the street commented on how polite he was, saying that he was very innocent and pure. Michael never knew how correct they were until he turned seventeen years old and a very terrifying incident caused him to hide who he was. Michael became withdrawn, silent, and irritable.

Choosing to stay silent, he graduated with very little friends and almost no one to help him deal with what he went through. Michael wrote a book - a manuscript - of what he had gone through and his father read it on his computer screen. Every word, every memory of that one moment that destroyed Michael inside was revealed to his family. His father told his mother what their son had gone through and Michael finally admitted his deepest, darkest secret. Slowly, he got better and he thought he was completely over it.

Until he was invited back to Blue River High School fourteen years later. Michael had written fantasy stories and coming-of-age novels and sent them to every publisher in Blue River. Someone accepted his stories and he was now an aspiring author in his hometown. As Michael roamed the halls of Blue River High, he now has to face the trauma and the fear that ran through him after that terrifying incident. Especially with the person who caused him to have a massive personality switch.

There are mature themes in this book and trigger warnings. This is the list of the mature themes:

1.) Mild cursing.

2.) Mentions of suicide.

3.) Self-harm.

4.) Rape scene (it won't be detailed, but heavily implied).

Those are the warnings. If you are sensitive about subjects like these, then this book isn't for you to read. Please leave this book and do not add it to your library if you dislike these topics in books. As much as you dislike them, they are part of the real world.

The characters belong to me as well as the town name. I know that Blue River is a town in other states, specifically Colorado, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, and Oregon. Blue River is the town in these five states of the United States of America. In Canada, there is a Blue River, British Columbia and a Blue River Indian Reserve No. 1. I am not copying these locations by using Blue River as the name of the location in this book. I hope that you like this story.
