Twenty-two year old nursing student Tobi Knight is thrown in a loop after esteemed fashion mogul Ms. Larissa Bijou stumbles upon him working behind the register of a cafe. Larissa is more than enthralled to discover the devastatingly handsome, adventurous, and ardent-hearted young man during her obligatory coffee break -- the 'perfect fit', as she describes him, for her newest, most daring photoshoot. She's quick to reach a perfectly manicured hand inside her leather designer bag and hand Tobi a card -- a business card for a nationally established modeling agency, Washington Models. Unmistakably, it's a job offer. Taken aback by Ms. Bijou's staggering offer (and ceaseless pleading), Tobi is hesitant. How does a devoted 'murse'-in-training (male nurse) with a knack for physical pursuits qualify as the next face for a fashion spread? Surely Tobi is aware that no amount of medical expertise or athletic endurance will grace him with the necessary aesthetics of fashion and modeling. More important, will he even get along with this 'Toni' De Luca that Ms. Larissa says will be his future partner? Who the hell is this guy anyway? And what did Tobi just get himself into? His mind is reeling with curiosity.

Tomorrow liked solitude. Then a naked lunatic arrived and demanded pants. Things went downhill from there.

Screen burn: "Where a permanent mark is burnt into the mask of the TV screen due to prolonged display."

Every Tuesday during football practice, sixteen year old Sem Bolton finds himself stealing glances at the gorgeous college boy jogging down the path next to the fields. He was his dirty little secret. His guilty pleasure. His unobtainable fantasy: safe and distant on the other side of the chainlink fence.

Not only is gorgeous college boy gay as well, he also wants to date Sem. Now, Sem was never one to play it safe. But outing himself was in a whole different league than testing his mother's patience or taking hits in the boxing ring. Was he really ready to date a guy, all consequences included? As if internal struggles weren't enough, count on girls, friends, and an estranged brother, to complicate stuff even further. Photo on the cover by: https://unsplash.com/@nickkarvounis

He desperately wants to enjoy the little that's left of his senior year, as well as patch up his tenuous relationship with his girlfriend. Honestly, he just wants things to go back to normal. The last thing that he wants is Wren Sanchez, the son of the top candidate and openly gay "bad boy", transferring to his high school. "Fraternizing with the enemy" shouldn't even be an issue, but it became one when Wren seems to not only take a liking to Taylor, but also begins to openly pursue him.

Who in their right mind would ask a teenager to write a 4000 word essay on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald anyway? To me, English class was simply the fine art of over analyzing very old pieces of literature. It was usually pretty easy for me to string together some intricate sounding sentences about these old novels. My English teacher loved me for it, but for this particular essay, I was utterly incapable of replicating the excellence of my previous work. All I knew was that Nick Carraway was definitely gay for Gatsby. _________ When two high school boys find themselves being forced into partnership for a class project, things get interesting. With Callaway's snarky remarks and hidden secrets, and Chance's accidental girlfriend, their path to completing high school is anything but straight. _________ Discaimer: This is boyxboy so if this makes anyone uncomfortable, this is me warning you. Also, The Great Gatsby does not belong to me, copyright is to F Scott Fitzgerald. With the references to the novel in my story, I am in no way trying to mock or make fun of the novel, because it is one of my favourite books. Also, the reality of Nick Carraway's homosexuality is arguable, I simply used this opinion for the sake of my story and its plot.

Devon Pine and Kyle Carter are two of the biggest stars of their generation. They have sold millions of records each and have girls chasing them from all around the world. They're also sworn enemies; each others' biggest competition. They've never met, but aware of the other's success, and are determined to beat each other in the game. However, when the two boys finally meet, the rivalry is forgotten. They get along instantly, and become fast friends. In no time, the world recognizes them as pop music's favorite bromance and everyone loves them as such. They do everything together, and it makes girls squeal even more knowing that their two favorite heartthrobs are best friends. But as both of their careers continue to grow and the friendship starts to grow into something more, something deeper, something neither of them expected, there doesn't seem to be a place in the industry for a relationship like theirs and they struggle to figure out which is more important - their love for music or their love for each other.

Seventeen-year-old Kit Taylor loves working at the local music store. It's his escape from his overly judgmental and homophobic family. His moody and sarcastic personality disappears along with his problems. He even manages to tolerate the thirteen-year-old girls that come in and giggle at him or get a stupid album from the latest pop sensation. Soon, escaping from his family won't be the only reason he enjoys working there. It might have to do with an adorable crazy haired boy and his strange, oversized sweaters. ************ "Your hair is messier than my life." "I highly doubt that" **** DISCONTINUED.

After some rough years Matthew O'Neill is trying to piece together a new life with all good things. A pretty, if maybe super religious girlfriend, a group of close, if somewhat crazy friends, a loving, if a bit unusual family. But his mind is still a mess sometimes. Especially when it comes to Allen Thomas. The new dorky student with the wild red hair and bluest eyes ever who just can't seem to leave him alone. Or is it maybe the other way around? _______________________ There was a split second when we smiled at each other in understanding, a tiny fragment of the reality, that we didn't have anything in common. I quickly looked over to the lockers again, but new kid didn't seem to get it, still smiling in the corner of my eye. "I didn't quite catch you name?" "Matt. Actually it's Matthew," I said for some reason, like I seriously cared. "Right, I'm terrible with names. Especially today, I feel like I've met a thousand people already. Matthew, I'll remember that." Well he wouldn't have to. I kinda liked the dry, soft way he said my name though, and the fact that he actually said it, not just the short version, that too many times sounded like a sheep baahing. I actually kinda hated it when people called me Matt.
