**This is the sequel to RUMORS** Felix is tired of men. Men are nothing to worry about, and in this economy? No, thank you. He's too old to be crying about some Italian cheater who doesn't care about him, or the success he has recently gain from his book. The book he took YEARS to finish. Years filled with trauma, depression, and panic attacks that don't easily go away. Even now, he has found himself thinking about the past, because as finished as it is in real life, in a fantasy world like his book, anything can be possible. Maybe even his first, failed love can finally have a happy ending? Or maybe it might lead him to re-awaken some old BAD HABITS.

Felix's past still haunts him. After the events that happened almost 10 years ago, He finally decided to talk it through with someone. Someone that could help with the painful memories. Someone that knew what they're talking about. Because even if time had passed, he still was unable to forget him. He still couldn't forget his eyes, his body... his tattoos... He still couldn't forget how rumors can ruin fucking everything. [WARNING] This story has mature content such as: acts of violence, obsessive tendencies, sexual encounters, and explicit language.

Kai Reyes is the perfect son-at least, in his mother's eyes. He's polite, talented, and kind, but his father and grandparents only see his "pointless" hobbies. Breakdancing is a passion they don't understand, and being bi is a secret only his mom knows. Liam Mercer is the opposite of perfect. Star soccer player, golden boy, the kind of person everyone loves... and Kai hates. Ever since a childhood football incident, Liam has made it his mission to make Kai's life miserable, from pranks to endless teasing. They're enemies. Rivals. Constantly at each other's throats. And thanks to their moms' lifelong friendship, they're also neighbors-forced together for every awkward, frustrating, and electric moment. Kai can't ignore the way Liam gets under his skin... and Liam, despite himself, can't stop noticing Kai. Enemies? Definitely. Rivals? Absolutely. Lovers? Maybe... if they survive high school without burning everything down.
