COMPLETE When Liam is partnered with his crush, Derek, for a two week long school trip, he is far from excited. He might like Derek, but Derek doesn't like him. It's a recipe for disaster, nothing more. Right? Derek doesn't want to be partnered with Liam, but there's nothing he can do. He liked Liam in grade school, but he's definitely not gay now. That was irrelevant. The issue at hand was his hatred toward him. Sometimes, things don't go as planned.

"Have you ever read a book you didn't like at first but loved in the end?" My head snaps up at his words. "Of course... the first few chapters of most books are more of an introduction, the story only really begins after chapter 5." "Well, maybe you're just stuck in chapter one of your own book, maybe the first chapter is about you finding yourself and your real adventure hasn't even started. Why jump before the main event has even begun." -- Books are dumb, or at least thats what Parker Owens thinks. Even though he's surrounded by them in his part time job, he believes that you can't fall in love with a story, that all stories are dumb and boring. Until he meets book lover Blue. Blue spends his life at the library, well maybe not his entire life but enough time for Parker Owens to realise the small book boy he's grown intrigued of over the summer doesn't have the fairytale life he reads about. But can he give him his happily ever after he deserves? I mean surely not, because those things don't happen in real life... right? Who knows, guess you'll have to read this library love story afterall. -- Hey. Yeah this book will include many mistakes and stuff but oh well. I write when i cant sleep lmao.
