Avery Turner, a perfectionist with a double life, and Kyran Drake, a charismatic boy with secrets, find their fates intertwined when their secrets threaten to unravel their dreams-will they overcome their differences to protect their futures, or wil...
Kyran: Hey, Avery! Do you wanna go celebrate with me? Avery: Kyran, you know I can't be seen in public with you. Kyran: Okay, a simple "no" would be fine.
✄✄✄✄✄
Avery: I love you. Kyran, not paying attention: What was that? Avery: I said I'm selling you to the zOo-
✄✄✄✄✄
Kyran, T-posing in the doorway: Greetings, Avery. Avery, not looking up from her coffee: Good morning, problem child.
✄✄✄✄✄
Kyran: I've been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response. Avery: Wow. They sound stupid. Kyran: But they're not. They're really smart actually. Just dense. Avery: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don't know... "Hey! I love you!" Kyran: I guess you're right. Hey Avery, I love you. Avery: See! Just say that! Kyran: Holy fucking shit. Avery: If that flies over their head then, sorry Kyran, but they're too dumb for you. Kyran: Avery.

Kyran: Do you always have to attack me with your words? Avery: Would you prefer me to use a brick?
✄✄✄✄✄
Avery: Do you have any skeletons in your closet? Kyran: You mean literally or figuratively? Avery: Honestly, the fact that I have to specify...
✄✄✄✄✄
Kyran: You often use humor to deflect trauma. Avery: Thank you. Kyran: I didn't say that was a good thing. Avery: What I'm hearing is, you think I'm funny.
✄✄✄✄✄
Avery: I wonder who's ruining my life. Avery: *looks in the mirror* Avery: So we meet again.
✄✄✄✄✄
Avery: Wait you like me? For my personality? Kyran: I know, I was surprised too.
✄✄✄✄✄
Kyran: You know, you were right. Avery: About what specifically? Because I'm right about a lot of things.
✄✄✄✄✄
Kyran: Come on Avery, do it for our friendship. You can't put a price on that... Avery: Yes I can. Fifty dollars.
✄✄✄✄✄
Avery: We should normalize not loving family members. Kyran: You can just say: "I hate my dumb fucking mother" or whatever. Talk like a normal person!
✄✄✄✄✄
Kyran, staring lovingly at Avery: I would die for you. Avery, doing her own thing: Then perish.
