My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea

Dash and his best friend Assaf are introduced as sophomores navigating the challenges of Tides High School. With its precarious location above a fault line, the school serves as the central setting for their adventures and misadventures.

Under the guidance of their mutual friend Verti, Dash and Assaf work together for the school newspaper. A significant change occurs when Verti assigns Assaf a solo piece on the grand opening of the new auditorium, which creates tension among the trio.

Feeling betrayed by Assaf's growing rapport with Verti, Dash writes a scathing article about Assaf. The article leaves a lasting mark on Assaf's permanent record, much to the dismay of Principal Grimm, setting off a chain of events.

In his quest for redemption, Dash sneaks into the school archives to examine his own record. Instead of finding what he seeks, he uncovers evidence of Principal Grimm's wrongdoing, specifically the forgery of the auditorium inspection report.

During his investigation, Dash meets Mary, an ambitious junior trying to retrieve her confiscated cellphone. They team up to inform their peers about the corruption within the school administration, but their plan leads to unexpected consequences.

Dash and Mary end up in detention coinciding with the disastrous opening of the auditorium. Due to a catastrophic failure, the school begins to tip into the ocean, leading to chaos and panic among the students.

Amidst the chaos, Dash heroically rescues Assaf and Verti from the flooding sophomore library. Using ingenuity, Verti suggests they create pockets of air to breathe while trying to escape the rapidly rising seawater.

In a shocking twist, Dash is saved from near-drowning by Lunch Lady Lorraine. As tensions escalate among teachers and students, Lorraine steps up as a leader, showcasing her unexpected survival skills.

The courageous group, including Lorraine and Mary, decides to ascend to the roof for safety, despite reluctance from others. This moment demonstrates their bravery and determination to survive the disaster unfolding around them.

Upon reaching the senior level, the group encounters Brent Daniels and his cult-like followers. Tension escalates as they confront Principal Grimm, who finally admits to his role in the chaos and offers guidance for their escape.

In a selfless act, Principal Grimm sacrifices himself to aid the students' escape from the collapsing school. His confession of forgery provides a pivotal moment as the group navigates the auditoriums bleachers towards safety.

Just as hope seems lost, rescue helicopters arrive to save the surviving students. Lorraine shows remarkable bravery by rescuing several more students as they work together to utilize makeshift rafts to escape.

In the aftermath of their harrowing ordeal, Dash and Assaf make a pact to document their experiences in a book. Their storytelling aims to shed light on the chaos and bravery that defined their time during the disaster.

Weeks later, Dash and Assaf's book, *Our Entire High School Sinking into the Sea*, is celebrated by surviving students. However, the reviews turn sour, criticizing Dash's complex writing style, leading to mixed feelings about their accomplishments.

As the celebration party winds down, Lorraine reminds Dash of her responsibility towards a new class of students. Her exit marks a poignant moment, highlighting the bonds formed and the lingering impacts of their shared experience.
