Jonah Moshe knew working over Christmas break would be awful, especially at Happy's 24/7 Pharmacy, where he'd get to start his day in a dimly lit convenience store that smelled like cat food and cigarettes, listening to his co worker blab on for six hours straight. But then Nicky Haddad comes in. And he comes again. And again. And again. And suddenly, working the morning shift doesn't seem all that bad. (Double POV story)

How much can lives change over the course of a high school football season? Just to clarify, we're talking about American football (the sport, not the band), aka gridiron football (or "retarded football", as my friend from another country would say). Not soccer football. Frankly, I don't know much about either. Hopefully, we can ignore that fact and still enjoy the story.

Micah Greeneway is invisible. Not the teen angst kind but actually invisible. It's hereditary, a family secret locked up like Area 51, but that's not really how he rolls. Even with his mother's disapproval, Micah continues the vigilante life style. After all, it's not that dangerous, right? Because no one can see him coming, literally. Except being a vigilante isn't as glamorous as Hollywood makes it out to be. Suddenly, Micah not only finds himself being noticed by the soccer boy next door but also some unsavory characters that want to abuse this so-called gift to commit a heinous crime. Now he has to juggle keeping his friends and loved ones safe while also maintaining his own personal morals. It's time for Invisible Boy to step up and be a real hero or watch all his hard work disappear just as quick as he can.

"Levon." Todd answered, voice hard. "Todd." Levon responded just as coolly. There was a pause. "Are you busy?" "I just got back from class," Todd said. "Waiting for Betto to get out of his lab so we can go for supper." "Nice." Levon wanted to punch himself. Todd just hummed in affirmation. Another pause as Levon tried to find a way to dispel the tension in the call. "Are you good?" Todd asked when Levon failed to form a sentence, and Levon realized how out of character it was for him to call Todd. There a was a layer of concern just under Todd's indifferent tone, and the protectiveness that seemed ever present in Todd when they were younger and Todd was always saving Levon from his problems. Levon's anger seemed to melt away at that familiar sense of security. "I'm good," Levon spoke finally and a soft smile spread over his lips. "Are you good?" "I'm good," Todd said gruffly. "Are we good?" Levon asked and Todd scoffed. "What we. There is no we. We're not friends." "Wouldn't want you as a friend anyway," Levon snickered. "You're kind of an asshole." Or Todd and Levon, and their acceptance that they were never meant to be friends. (Disclaimer: there will be foul language, more fluff than plot, and BoyxBoy romance. Read at your own risk!)
