A small karate dojo in the local mall wouldn't usually be Ollie Ishikawa's first choice for training and practice. It's certainly not where he earned his black belt. It is where his friends are though, which means he's there too. When new student and fellow martial artist Jack Brewer joins the dojo, Ollie has the brief and very fleeting hope it means they might learn to focus more. Instead, he finds that the shenanigans somehow only get worse. Jack, on his part, can't be happier about the move to Seaford. Not only has he found a great group of friends but, if he's lucky, he might have found more in a certain someone. That's right. He can admit (to himself) he has a crush on Ollie. Now if he could only find the courage to admit the same to Ollie because, as the others have told him, that's the only way the oblivious boy will ever notice.

[BXB] Blake Collins moves in next door and Luca Mendoza's world turns upside down. ☆☆☆ When popular football player Blake Collins moves in next door, Luca Mendoza assumes it won't change a thing in their nonexistent relationship (regardless of the crush that he may or may not have). But then Blake's infuriating thirteen-year-old brother comes into the picture. He plays his music too loud, constantly kicks his soccer ball over the fence and is generally a pain in Luca's ass. When Luca decides he has no other choice but to confront this terror of a middle schooler, he fails to realize that Blake has overheard him until it's too late. To his surprise, the incident triggers a friendship between the two of them and Luca begins to wonder if he has a better shot with Blake than he's been giving himself credit for.
