What is the best way to keep a secret? "Tell it to everyone you know, but pretend you are kidding" - Lemony Snicket. It turned out that Snicket was painfully correct. By the time I reached P.E. after lunch on Monday, it was tipping over the edge of eighty degrees, and my red hoodie had been stuffed in the back of my locker since Brunch. I'd lost count of how many people had gaped at my arm with shocked expressions and open mouths, curious voices unsure of whether or not they wanted to know the answer asking, "Did you cut your arm?" By third period, I'd gotten so fucking sick of repeating the same excuse that my sarcastic asshole side had leaked out. So, I'd been responding to my classmates appalled questions with something along the lines of, "Yes, I cut myself." There was a kind of sick humor to it - technically, I was telling the truth. Not that anyone would ever know it. Cover cred to RazorbladeKissesx

Alex has to face moving away from London to Baltimore, Maryland in the USA and has to come to terms with making new friends at his new school. What he doesn't know is what this holds for him and what a boy called Jack does to his life... -------------------------------------------------------------------- 80k reads, thank you so so much! I didn't expect people to still be reading this years on.

Alex Gaskarth is a 17 year old high school student who's best friend is 16 year old, Jack Barakat. When Jack begins to think that he might have feelings for Alex, their friendship becomes and emotional rollercoaster. What will happen? Read and find out!

It all began with a kiss, with Alex, my best friend, my band mate, which got me thinking, am I gay? The audience was yelling now. "Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!" They chanted. I blinked, confused. "What?" Alex asked a fan. "Okay" he murmured and made his way over to me. I raised at eyebrow but he didn't say anything. He grabbed my face and softly pecked me on the lips. Dumbfounded I just stood there. "Alright!" Alex picked up the mic skillfully. "This ones called weightless. Hit it!" The drums kicked in and I played as alex pranced around on stage. After that show, fans ordered us to kiss at every venue we performed at. Became a regular thing I guess. I just wished the kisses would last longer... So I admit. I, Jack Barakat, have a crush on my best friend and fellow bandmate, Alex Gaskarth.

Alex Gaskarth: New kid. Quite. Gay. No friends. No loving family. He is seriously "messed up." Jack Barakat: Popular. Rich. "Bad boy." Confused about his sexuality? Now he is. Rian Dawson: Popular. Heart throbber and heart breaker. Falling in love is tough, trying to find love is harder. Zack Merrick: Nerd. Gamer. Bullied. And in love with a girl out of his league. What do these four boys have in common besides the fact that they go to the same school? They have Saturday detention of course! Dark secrets. Past lovers. And high school. Will the unloved become loved?
