But no one knows the truth that keeps him up at night: Noah likes boys, and he hates himself for it. He's built walls so high even he can't see over them. Julian Bennett is the opposite of Noah in every way. Quiet, shy, and sweet, he fades into the background without trying. But behind his timid demeanor lies a bold, unspoken confidence about who he is, even if no one else really notices.
