(finished) Part 2: Don't you hate it when you thought you were done with your conflicting feelings, suddenly you have them coming back to you when you least expect it?, when you develop feelings for someone you think you have no chances with, when people think that those feelings aren't accepted by society, when you can't get your crush to notice you, then you feel like the world just crumbles around you when things just don't work out the way how you wanted it to be? I... I like him... But there's just so much shit going on that I don't know if I can bring myself to be with him... ...So I'm writing down all of this in my journal to pour all my thoughts out... Because I just need to express these feelings out somehow... -Jackson #2 - closeted #76 - homo

Alex Littleton is an outgoing and spontaneous 16 year old boy. He's the captain of the Greene high school boys swim team and loves, and I mean loves, to swim. He has average grades and is pretty much your typical lovable gay boy. Landon Parks is 17 and ready to party. He's on the football team and is pretty popular, but not one of those obnoxiously popular ones. He isn't one of your normal jocks though, sure he isn't the brightest, but he's not failing any classes, and there's one thing that really makes him stand out among his friends. He's not really into girls. He's never really liked being around them and at the time wasn't really sure why. But now it's got him thinking, maybe he's gay? But he isn't going to tell anyone, cause what if he's not? He'll just observe from afar and see where it takes him. When Landon sees this cute younger boy, he wants to see him more. He's never met him before now, but sometimes all you need is to run into them once. COVER BY ROGUEHOPES

This story is currently being rewritten from the ground up as the author has improved tremendously in their writing. It will also be finally completed during this time period. Welcome to Johnson High, home of the jackrabbits. Most people deny anything that has to do with segregation of students, but here we own up to it. Every person has a cliché, stereotypical group that they belong to. One particular group is much different. All it's members are more diverse than anyone could imagine. From stoners to beauty queens, this group has them all, and when a boy joins the group as a complete outcast he learns more than he bargained for. On the far side of the quad during lunch are two vending machines, each with their own offerings. Two very different groups have set up camp on each side. The popular jocks and our favourite clique of all of things special. What happens when a single coin ventures onto the other side? What will come of the boy who dropped it and the football player who just so happened to pick it up? Cover credit: ThatMagicalBich
