Clay is sensitive, his confidence ranging from high to low within seconds. He finds himself trapped between the walls of popularity and expectations, only to be exposed by a short British brunette who goes by the name of George. ----------------------- High School AU!! I hope you enjoy, kinda not a slow burn but you can still expect long chapters while reading!! I loved writing this and my writing does improve more towards the end, I was very sleep deprived and writing those chapters at like 5am ______________ Started on February 17th, 2021 - finished April 5th, 2021 <3 This is by Fernabee, I rebranded after writing the book :) ----------------------- Disclaimer: I personally don't ship Dream (clay) or George together, I'm simply am a writer with nothing to write about and love this topic! If they state they are uncomfortable with these fanfics I will not hesitate to remove the story :) ----------------------- There is references to Homophobia, underage drinking, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, and extreme bullying. Please read with caution if you are sensitive to these topics, there is TW warnings at those certain parts. <3 ----------------------- Thank you for reading!! 123k reads is actually insane. While I'm sad that the community has fallen apart, I am so happy I was able to experience the peak. (10/12/25)
