Excerpt:

In the competitive world of high school football, Jordan Stricker has always been on top—star quarterback, popular with friends and admired by his peers. But when Khalid, a new student with an easy smile and effortless charm, arrives at school, everything Jordan has worked for feels threatened.

Jordan's initial reaction to Khalid is unexpected and intense—an inexplicable mix of jealousy and attraction that he can't quite understand. As Khalid effortlessly makes friends and excels in football, Jordan's insecurity grows, fueling his resentment towards the newcomer.

Khalid, unaware of Jordan's inner turmoil, tries to befriend him, offering kindness and support despite Jordan's cold demeanor. Their interactions are fraught with tension, each encounter revealing layers of complex emotions and unspoken desires.

As the football season unfolds and tensions rise both on and off the field, Jordan and Khalid find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never anticipated. Jordan must confront his fears and uncertainties, grappling with his identity and his growing feelings for Khalid. Khalid, in turn, navigates the challenges of fitting in at a new school while unraveling the mystery behind Jordan's animosity towards him.

Against the backdrop of Friday night lights and the exhilarating rush of the game, Resenting you explores themes of identity, acceptance, and the transformative power of love. It's a poignant story of two young men navigating the complexities of rivalry and romance, learning that sometimes the hardest battles are fought within oneself.

One final warning before you read, my character is very unlikable, and may come off as bitter and toxic in the beginning. Which he is. But remember, he has his flaws, but he is only human. And towards the end of the book, I will say that he 100% gets better!
