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?

Alex se encuentra en el escalafón más bajo de la pirámide social escolar; Colin, en cambio, es el chico que reina en la cúspide, con el que todos quieren relacionarse. Un trato hará que sus caminos se crucen. *** Alex Turner esa una nerd, un gusano de libros de esos a los que nadie registra, una donnadie. Colin Matthews, en cambio, lo tiene todo: es popular, es guapo y siempre está rodeado de chicas de su especie; lo que él quiere, simplemente, lo tiene. Cualquiera diría que los destinos de Alex y Colin, dos etiquetas completamente opuestas, son caminos que jamás se cruzarían más allá de los pasillos del instituto. Eso es lo que ellos imaginaban hasta que "El proyecto nerd" llegó a sus vidas. *** -Un trato es un trato, hombre, ¿estás fuera o dentro? -Estoy dentro.
