BxB •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Austin Carmichael, a curious teenage boy and the son of two famous and filthy rich public figures, has everything and yet nothing. He was his mother's third child trying his best to keep his life private as he resided far away from his family.

It was nothing too fancy, but to him the long road and the basketball court right across from his home was fascinating, especially on Saturdays. On Saturdays, the court boomed with people and if Austin payed close attention, he could hear the sound of the basketball dribbling. He fancied the people and what they do, but he also fancied a certain boy who always looked so concentrated and determined to end with the win. The boy was tall and handsome, everything that fed to Austin's desires and before he knew it, he was crushing hard. Saturday after Saturday, he stood on his balcony and watched attentively until one day the unexpected happens. The court boy waves Austin over and not only could Austin not stop himself from rushing down into the court, he also couldn't stop the drama that would unfold.
