The most remarkable thing about Philip is his singular crush on a girl since 2nd grade. His inability to talk to her always made him believe it his greatest weakness. His quiet world is abruptly shattered when six students on a death pact attack the school, hunkering down in the school cafeteria and adjoining library for fourteen hours, shooting students. Philip's quiet demeanor is replaced by quiet fury when the girl he has idolized his entire life is threatened. Philip changes his stripes from quiet to red, killing three of the assailants and inciting the students to rebel against their captors and take back was was so cruelly taken away. Philip saves himself, the girl, and his school, hoping to better one day prepare young people for the challenges ahead. |
