Two students struggling to keep their grades and pants up. Will this Florida man survive university in England? (DNF)

George had moved school a lot since his parents had to travel for work, his most recent high school being one in Florida. But with every day he spends there he finds himself getting more and more worried for his life as another student's secret book affects more of his life. Clay has the best book ever. Almost anything written inside of it comes true and he's constantly using it to his advantage. Captain or president of every school club and team, rich parents, highest grades in the school. Strangely though, a new student doesn't seem to get affected the same way other students do, and it makes Clay feel curious. _____________________________________________ This story does include smut, fluff, and angst
