I know you're going to skip this but please take time out of your day to read this. I just would like to clear a few things up :)

Heyyy ya'lllllll.

First of all, I just want to let you know that due to the main character being half Italian, some of the stuff the main character says in this will be in Italian (when speaking to family) however, I don't speak a single word of the language so everything will be off google translate & language dictionary websites and I will try to triple check it. If you spot any mistakes, please tell me and I will correct it - and don't worry, there will be translations.

If there is anything that you find offensive in this story, please tell me and just know that I do not intend to be disrespectful. I'll be sure to edit it out ASAP. I'm not saying this because I am a disrespectful person, I'm much the opposite, but because I am young and still learning about things, as are you reading this. I'm not completely educated about everything, no one is, especially among the topic of nationalities.

I am also not from America, so I'm not completely confident with how all the schooling stuff goes. Everything is based on research and what I've been told by American friends. If it's not important then just allow it.

Secondly, if you're a homophobic asshole who clicked onto this story to spread around your disgusting opinions in the comments, leave and don't come back. There is no space for hate on this story or my account. If I see a hateful comment of any kind, I will report it and I will block you. I understand that BxB is not everyone's cup of tea, but that does not give you the excuse to comment hate.

This story also surrounds the topic of mental disorders, more specifically - anxiety. Being an anxiety sufferer myself, it will be completely based on my own experiences. Please remember that not everyone is the same. Just because you and no one you know shares the experiences or symptoms that are in this book, does not mean everyone else is the same. In the nicest way: you don't speak for everyone.

I included the topic of anxiety in this story because the struggles need to be heard as they are commonly brushed aside as us just being "shy" or naturally nervous. In no way am I looking for attention writing this, I just want to be clear that everything written in this story is based on myself.

I will put a trigger warning every time a panic attack is included in a chapter just in case reading about it is one of your triggers.

There is also discussions of suicide in this book. I would like to be clear that there are no suicide attempts made, just DISCUSSION of it.

Please dm me if your mental health is affecting your life and you need someone to talk to. I am always here. Though, I do encourage you to go out and find professional help as well. I am not a counsellor, I am just here for people to talk to if they need and to offer support and tips. In no way am I trying to cure anyone.

There will also be scenes of a sexual nature too. Alike the panic attack scenes, I will put a warning at the beginning of when it starts, and one at the end, so you will be able to skip the scene without having to skip the whole chapter and miss something important.

Before I get moaned at for this being a cliché book, it's supposed be — that's the whole point in me writing it and that's why, in my bio, I told people to go and read my book if they want to check out "another one of the cliché gay book". It was about two years ago when my cousin and I were thinking up this story and we both said that it would be funny if I were to write a cliché book. I agreed and here we are.

I understand that not everyone likes clichés — I personally do, however — but I'm not thinking about the views this books gets, or how popular it will be among people. My life at the moment is very scary, anxiety filled, and stressful. It's fun to write a cliché book, and I use this time to escape my everyday life and to finally care about something.

The are definitely parts of this book that aren't cliché but I know that the whole bad boy and rivals turned lovers thing is. Again, that's the point. It's cringe, it's awkward, but that's what allows me to laugh, and I need to be able to laugh at this point in my life. I hope this didn't talk you out of reading it.

I would like to note that the quality of the chapters increase as they go on. The first chapter was written almost two years before I'm writing this message right now (I'm up to chapter forty so far). I have edited the chapters, although I cannot completely change how I wrote it. Please do not get put off when reading the beginning chapters because I promise you that it does get better.

I dedicate this story to my best friend who also happens to be my dear cousin (sucks for her, but not for me) @ImComingToKissYou for any proper reason, but because this story is gay and so is she. Have fun reading it 'til the point where you get bored (which will probably be the first chapter but hey, that's my writing for ya). Thank you for helping me think of storylines and names. Love you. <3
