Phil Lester is sweet and cute; known for his kindness and enthusiasm. Dan Howell is a tough, cold outsider; known as the school's stereotypical 'bad boy'. But if he's so bad, then why on earth did he rescue Phil Lester and give him a smile which would melt anyone's heart?

As the most popular boy in the school, Phil Lester has to hide his true identity. All his life, he has been lying to the people surrounding him. One boy changes that, but is the shy boy worth getting his own butt kicked for? All his life he has stayed on top, just make it through one more year. Sleeping with poor girls that get their hopes up just for his own good, even though he would much rather curl up at home and watch a sappy love story on television. Will Phil be able to make it through his last years of school, or will his everyday life be forever changed? ::: Dan Howell is more like a shadow than a human being. Like a mouse he wanders around the halls, trying not to get seen by the hawks. He's never safe, at school the popular guys are out to get him, at work it's the homophobic manager. At home he is never left alone by his own mind. His dream is to pass school and then just disappearing out into the world, somewhere new, where no one judges him, where he might find peace. One day he receives a text from an unknown number, the text that will change his life forever.
