DESCRIPTION


If you fool everyone into believing a lie, it makes their reality. If everyone believes something, how could one possibly tell it isn't real?

Nicklas Bellows wasn't popular, even though he was the school's sport team's goal keeper – he just didn't want to have to do with those imbeciles.

Besides, there was a lot of other things to do. Improving, dwelling in thoughts, pretending to be someone he wasn't.

There really was a lot occupying his mind – his future with his favorite sport, science stuff, the boy he had met at the gym when training. . .

Zane was eighteen. And yes, the boy surely gave Nick a lot to think about, and with this interest in figuring out all the stuff the older boy gave him to contemplate on, he suddenly found himself making another friend. And this friendship slowly started to change everything. His whole reality – starting from his opinion about people to his perception of himself. And, at one point, the way he felt for Zane.

But nobody knew about their friendship. Nobody knew about anything, too personal was a line easily crossed, a line he preferred to be respected.

Some things were simply better off as secrets.
