The ancient Greeks said Cupid's arrows could make you fall in love, but what if those arrows hit the wrong person? And what if that person was Eastwood High's most notorious bad boy? Dylan Dexwell was the opposite of a typical guy - his quick wit was laced with cutting sarcasm, his sense of humor an acquired taste. But everything changed when his father was transferred to San Diego, and Dylan had to start all over again, with a secret. On his first day at his new school, Dylan was immediately the center of attention. His white hair set him apart from the other students. But his looks weren't the only thing drawing eyes - it was also the sight of him stumbling into the school's most notorious bad boy, the captain of the football team and his troublesome mouth. He knew he was gay, but he wasn't ready to come out - especially not to his parents. As Dylan settled into his new school, he soon met the most colorful group of people imaginable. There was the sassy cheerleader with the razor-sharp wit, the cheerful sweet guy Dylan could tell had a secret, and the jerk who became his half. Dylan found himself arguing with the stunningly handsome biggest jerk of Eastwood high at every turn, and soon they were butting heads and getting each other into all sorts of trouble. But then, in a moment of confusion and chaos, their lips met. And everything changed. Was it love or hate that was igniting between them? And what would happen when these two polar opposites start to feel a spark? Things can't get worse in Eastwood, right? Wrong. This isn't your typical gay love story. It's worse. For some reason, Eastwood hates the boy with a secret- Dylan. And it sure is trying to get rid of him.

My heart pulsated through my chest and I didn't think I could hold on for much longer. The frightening, terrorising feeling of his fingers slipping through mine was causing the arm that was gripping to the edge of the cliff to shake. "Hold on, Harry! I've got you, I swear! Please, just hold on!" my voice held a shrill of terror to it and my eyes were filling with tears; tears of pain, frustration and sheer horror. Harry moved his gaze from our slipping fingers to my eyes. "It's okay, Ethan. Let go. You can't save me; not this time." I hated how calm his tone was. I hated how defeated he sounded. He had never given up - we always held hope for one another! We never gave up. "Don't you say that to me! Don't you fucking say that to me!" I roared, a small sob escaping my lips. Harry just smiled sadly, his muscular, beautiful body swaying in the harsh wind. The fall was so big; he would surely die of a heart attack before he hit the ground. I prayed to God he would. No. I was breaking my own rule; I would not give up on him. Either both of us lived or neither of us would. My life would be over the second his ended, anyway.

They say you only fall in love once. For Ody and Mano, that once changed everything. In a world where love isn't always safe, and pain comes hand-in-hand with desire, two straight boys find each other in the middle of grief, trauma, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen... and losing someone again would ruin him. Ody can't help but care. Bright, extroverted, charming and painfully sincere, he's the kind of boy who notices when you're hurting... even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. Sparks fly, but so do secrets, buried trauma, and a love neither of them is ready for. One of them hides behind silence. The other hides behind smiles. Together, they're wildfire. But not all fires survive the storm. The forbidden love between a broken boy and a lost one - a bond that refuses to break, even as the world tries to tear them apart. 🖤New chapter every Friday🖤 !
