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?

Detention - even the word just made me cringe. Schoolwork for me, unlike most people, was a joy. I lived for education and fed on knowledge, much to other people's amusement. But I didn't care. They didn't bother me and I didn't bother them, it was a two way system that had worked perfectly. Until him. The one that would turn me and my perfectly organised life upside down. For better or worse, it happened, whether I liked it or not.

One Summer. That's all it takes for everything to change ~ but is it for the better? All I know is that in the end, Whatever is meant to be will be.
