There's nothing extraordinary about Vincent Stronghold. Bullied by pesky jocks, living in poverty with his single mom, and working at Best Buy at Walmart. With a loving mother and a great loyal best friend, he couldn't ask for more; he never wanted anything more. But when a group of men in uniform comes to his school to claim him as the next rightful heir to the kingdom of Allyria, a country too rich for its own good, Vincent's life is twisted and molded into something else entirely. When Vincent is escorted to the kingdom, he doesn't know what to expect. Palaces, expensive clothing, dashing looking Princes; everything is what Vincent could never dream of. He begins to question if he really is royalty material, and when he has a whole country criticizing his every move, pesky jocks, and an unsatisfied ex-boyfriend creeping behind his back, what do you get? Utter chaos. Will he be able to live up to his title, or will certain forces cause him to crumble and go back to living in the poverty he dared to leave?

he had a crush on this boy and it excited him. he was going to make him to fall in l o v e with him. even if it killed him. he didn't mean it literally, but the world has a funny way of mixing things up.

What if you could hear them? The thoughts they deigned not reasonable enough to say out loud, the things not suitable for even a giggly teenage gossip conversation. Would it be a blessing or a curse? Troye, the unlucky teenager bestowed with this 'gift', thinks of it as a curse, with good reason. Do you know how hard it is to keep a relationship with someone when you know exactly what they think of you? Impossible. It's impossible. Or at least that's what Troye thinks, considering he's given up on even trying to make it work. He's different, people shun different. People hate different. And it's better to go under the radar, to be nothing, than to be hated. Right? Tyler, on the other hand, has taken a different approach to a similar problem. No, he can't 'read minds', but he does have a part of himself he doesn't want a soul to know about. He's quarterback, every girl's dream guy, an academic mastermind, and he's also gay. He's seen how different kids get treated, hell, he's been the one to treat them that way before. Why on Earth would he ever wish that on himself? No, it's easier to hide, to be someone you're not, than to be hated. Right?

Brayden Knight was just an ordinary student at Westwood Heights Preparatory High School. An average guy taking average classes and living an average life, a guy who blends in and doesn't cause trouble. Or at least that's what he thought. Ethan Pennington was the complete opposite: star quarterback, straight A student, and boyfriend of the most popular girl in school, Crystal Steele. These boys couldn't be more different but one thing bound them together, their lies. When these two boys get paired up for a school project who's life will change first?
