Bowie Albright is a sixteen-year-old transgender boy who's parents sent to an all-girls Catholic boarding school called St. Anne's Academy after he impulsively came out to them. It sucks, but he guesses it's better than being on the streets and he has a lot more fun than he'd like to admit pissing off the teachers just by being himself. Everything school is pretty normal, until the dead body of a senior girl is found pinned crucifix-style to a tree in the woods behind the school.
It's a tragedy, but the real horror comes from the staff's reaction to death. Police aren't involved. They bury the body themselves (on school grounds, which is disturbing on so many levels). They tell the students it was a suicide and not to worry about. Bowie doesn't understand. he doesn't understand why the school seems so intent on hiding the death from the authorities, why they're all acting like the student never existed in the first place, why the teachers lash out when students dare to question it, but he intends to find out. there's only one problem: he can't do it alone .
So, I'm basically looking for someone (preferably a female character) who works towards figuring out the mystery of her death. You can message me if you're interested but want more details, either about the plot or the character I'm using.
