At West Crimson High, student population 500, one person's business is everyone's business. This is no exception in Brandon Shay Owens' case. The athletic, popular, top grade boy has no care in the world besides his father's acceptance of him and undeniable hatred of football. Until autumn of his junior year, of course. After kissing his best friend, everything Brandon has tried to cover up and store away for five years seems to unravel all at once. Not even his academic wit and unlimited sarcasm can silence the shadowy gossip from his West Crimson peers, especially when a childhood friend not-so-subtly desires to tell the world Brandon's business. From kissing best friends to hiding boyfriends, it seems as if life has a long-standing grudge against Brandon. And he's not the most prepared to take it on. * * * *SEXUAL CONTENT (boyxboy, boyxgirl)* *First Person* *Trigger Warning* *This story is a part of the West Crimson chain stories*
