a collection of poems in which you meet twenty-six boys and read their stories from the perspective of twenty-six other boys. you've met most of them before, in reality, outside these pages. and you've seen some of their faces in the street. and you read some of their names in their social media urls or the headlines. you may have had a crush on a few and wished death upon one or two. who knows? (i don't. but you will the moment you recognise a story or a name or a quote, and god, i'm so, so sorry if the recognition pulls a threat of memories you think you have burnt away.) © 2018, jack (-reject), all rights reserved.

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. Then, through a series of unpleasant events including being forced on a camping trip, it turns out his unobtainable fantasy is not so unobtainable after all. 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

(1) Teil ~ Secret Love (2) Teil ~ Another Love »Küssen sie mich!« »wie bitte!?« »sie haben mich schon verstanden Mister Landon, na los doch, küssen sie mich!« --- Miles Parker ist unsterblich in seinen Mathe-/Englischlehrer Jake Landon verliebt. Blöd nur das dieser sein Lehrer ist, er durch seine freche und laute Art nicht wirklich positiv bei diesem auffällt und genau in diesen Fächern kein besonders guter Schüler ist. Scheint also, als wäre es für Miles nicht wirklich hoffnungsvoll. Das Blatt wendet sich allerdings, als seine Eltern ihm Nachhilfe aufdonnern und das bei keinem geringeren als Jake Landon selbst...

Eigentlich hatte Miles wenig Lust darauf gerade jetzt zurück in sein Heimatdorf zu fahren und doch steht er prompt vor dem Haus seiner Eltern. Blöd nur das sich zu dieser Zeit ausgerechnet auch noch Godric einquartiert hat, mit der frohen Botschaft das er nun verlobt sei. Wäre das nicht schon anstrengend genug, steht er bei dem Klassentreffen ausgerechnet seinem ehemaligen Lehrer und Schwarm Jake Landon gegenüber, welcher nun offensichtlich versucht seine Fehler von damals wieder gut zu machen. So merkt Miles einmal mehr das Gott womöglich wieder in die Ferien gegangen ist und sein, nun doch so geordnetes, Leben wieder im vollkommenen Chaos unterzugehen scheint...
