Baillie and Carter are not friends. They never have been and they probably never will be. Not after 17 years of living next door to each other. Not now despite living under the same roof. They don't hate each other, even though they pretend that they do, but they definitely are not friends. Friends don't look at each other like that. Friends don't think about each other like that. Friends don't touch each other like that or have wet dreams about each other. They may have been neighbors, they may be roommates, and they might possibly be lovers, but Baillie and Carter (and I cannot stress this enough) are not friends.

Sparrow Greever loved his simple life in Florida. Jacksonville itself may be anything but simple, but he was happy with his small group of friends, his video games, his mother, and his brother. That is until that very brother took him away from all that to move out to Shadow Cove, California, a place known for missing people cases, backwards views, and shitty Wi-Fi. But hey! They have a boardwalk. And hot vampires. But Sparrow hasn't figured that part out yet.
