First sentence: Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the official raise the gun; I adjusted my position on the starting block one last time.

“Get set!”

My muscles tightened.

Bang!

And I was off. Propelling myself forward with all the strength I had in my legs I plunged into the water, glided for a few moments, and immediately started swimming. One, two, three, breathe. One, two, three, breathe. Concentrate on the movement. Push yourself forward with your arms, not just your legs; mostly with your arms, in fact, you want to have fresh legs for the next phases of the race.
Description: Theo has been running all his life. 
Mostly, he's been running from his feelings. His father died years ago, and with no one else able or willing to help them, Theo has had to support his mother, take care of his siblings, and live up to the family name by being a Proper Man. 
He's had no time to think about who he truly wants to be. 
But when he gets to college, a thousand miles from home, away from all the expectations and pressure, he finally has a chance to slow down, catch his breath, and experiment. 
He has a chance to notice things about himself. The Transition Zone is the story of a young queer person discovering their true identity, and the friends and family they meet and bond with along the way.
