 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })After is a Young Adult Literature novel written by Francine Prose.Tom is a sophomore at Central High, one of the “smart jocks”, a normal guy at a normal school. And during math class, that normalcy shatters. A school the next town over is shot up by angry students, and in the wake of this tragedy, school at Central begins to change. A grief and crisis counselor, Dr Willner, takes over, instituting new rules at every turn. Metal detectors, random searches, a ban on things like chewing gum, hats, even the color red. At first the students make their compromises, but when those who do not comply begin to vanish, Tom realizes that nothing good can come of sacrificing freedom for safety.Not to be confused with After by Anna Todd, another YA novel with the same title.

 Bittersweet Ending: Wilner has completely taken over Central, and the minds of most of the students' parents. And its only a matter of time before he has the remaining students taken to Operation Turnaround. But our collective heroes (Tom, his father, his step mother, Rebecca, her family and Tom's remaining friend) all make tracks to some place safe and remote.

 Adult Fear: Imagine being all these kids parents and (via a stream of e-mails) being brainwashed to comply with handing your child over to a concentration camp. It's implied that it eventually wears off afterwards to the point of My God, What Have I Done?.
